Grace spent 1/8of her money on popcorn and 1/4 of her money on a drink.
1.IF THE drink cost€1.32,how much money had she altogether
2.what fraction of her money did she spend?
3.how much money had she left?
1.32 * 4 = ?
0.38
To answer these questions, we can use the given information about the fractions of money that Grace spent on popcorn and the drink.
1. To find out how much money Grace had altogether, we need to determine the total fraction of money she spent. According to the given information, she spent 1/8 of her money on popcorn and 1/4 of her money on a drink. Therefore, the total fraction of money she spent is 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8.
Now, we can set up the following equation to find out the amount of money she had altogether:
3/8 * Total Money = €1.32
By isolating the Total Money variable, we can calculate it by dividing €1.32 by 3/8:
Total Money = €1.32 / (3/8)
To divide fractions, we need to multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
Total Money = €1.32 * (8/3)
Total Money = €3.52
Therefore, Grace had €3.52 altogether.
2. To determine the fraction of her money she spent, we already know that the total fraction of money she spent is 3/8. This means she spent 3 out of 8 equal parts of her money.
3. To find out how much money Grace had left, we can subtract the amount she spent from the total amount of money she had. Given that she spent €1.32, the remainder of her money can be calculated as follows:
Total Money - Amount Spent = €3.52 - €1.32 = €2.20
Therefore, Grace had €2.20 left.
