janet went on a two weeek holiday. she spent 2/3 of her holiday money in the first week, 1/4 in the second week. What fraction of her holiday money did she bring back home.

shouldn't it be 2/3-1/4??

as we have to find how much he or she bought home.

I assume it is 1/4 of the remainder from the first week, so what she brings home is 1/3 * 3/4 = ?

To find the fraction of her holiday money that Janet brought back home, we'll first calculate how much money she spent in each week.

Given that Janet spent 2/3 of her holiday money in the first week and 1/4 in the second week, we can assume that the total amount of holiday money is equal to the sum of the money she spent in the first and second week.

Let's calculate how much money Janet spent in the first week:
2/3 of Janet's holiday money = (2/3) * 1 = 2/3

Now, let's calculate how much money Janet spent in the second week, assuming she had 1 whole (1/1) unit of holiday money in the second week:
1/4 of Janet's holiday money = (1/4) * 1 = 1/4

To find out how much money Janet brought back home, we need to subtract the two amounts she spent (2/3 + 1/4) from the total amount of holiday money (1 whole unit).

Total money spent = 2/3 + 1/4
Now, to calculate this sum, we need to find a common denominator for 3 and 4, which is 12.

Total money spent = (2/3 * 4/4) + (1/4 * 3/3)
= 8/12 + 3/12
= 11/12

Now, to find the fraction Janet brought back home, we subtract the money spent from the total money:
Fraction brought back home = 1 - 11/12

Now, we need to find a common denominator for 1 and 12, which is 12.

Fraction brought back home = (12/12) - (11/12)
= 1/12

Therefore, Janet brought back 1/12 of her holiday money.

2/3+1/4=11/12
