An abstract representation of a financial scenario. Let there be a wallet containing currency. Show some currency disappearing, representing 1/4 of the money being spent. Next to this, show another proportion of the currency, representing 1/3 of the money, also disappearing from the wallet. The wallet should appear emptier, indicating that spending has taken place but some money is still left inside. Make sure the image doesn't contain any text. Use pastel colors for a visually appealing effect.

i spent 1/4 of my money in one shop and 1/3 of my money in another shop. what fraction was left?

5/12

please I don't understand this solution

432/9423094

The given number 432/9423094 cannot be simplified any further. It is already in its simplest form.

To find out what fraction of your money was left, you need to determine the total amount of money spent and subtract it from the original amount.

Let's assume you originally had x amount of money.

You spent 1/4 of your money in one shop, which means you spent (1/4)x.

You then spent 1/3 of your remaining money in another shop, which means you spent (1/3)[x - (1/4)x].

To simplify the expression, let's find a common denominator for (1/4) and (1/3), which is 12.

(1/4)x can be expressed as (3/12)x, and (1/3)[x - (1/4)x] can be expressed as (4/12)x - (3/12)x.

Combining the terms, we have (4/12)x - (3/12)x = (1/12)x.

So, you spent (1/12)x of your money in total.

To find out what fraction was left, we subtract the spent amount from the original amount:

Original amount - Spent amount = x - (1/12)x.

Combining the terms, we have (12/12)x - (1/12)x = (11/12)x.

Therefore, the fraction of your money that was left is (11/12).

this should help

1/4 = 3/12
1/3 = 4/12

1/12

1/4 = 3/12

2/3= 8/12

4/12
