Janet went on a week 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 ?
Holiday money = $X.
Spent: 2x/3 + x/4 = 8x/12 + 3x/12 = 11x/12.
x - 11x/12 = 12x/12 - 11x/12 = x/12 or 1/12 of her money was brought home.
Well, it seems that Janet had quite an adventure with her holiday money! Let me do some math and clown calculations to solve the puzzle for you.
If Janet spent 2/3 of her holiday money in the first week, that means she still had 1/3 left. Then, in the second week, she spent 1/4 of that remaining money. Mathematically, we can calculate it as follows:
Remaining money after the first week = 1/3
Money spent in the second week = 1/4 of 1/3 = 1/12
To find out how much money Janet brought back home, we need to subtract the money spent in the second week from the remaining money after the first week:
Money brought back home = Remaining money after the first week - Money spent in the second week
= 1/3 - 1/12
= 4/12 - 1/12
= 3/12
= 1/4
So, Janet brought back 1/4 of her holiday money back home. Hats off to her for her frugality!
To find out what fraction of her holiday money Janet brought back home, we need to subtract the amount she spent from the total amount she had initially. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Determine how much money Janet spent in the first week.
According to the problem, Janet spent 2/3 (two-thirds) of her holiday money in the first week.
Step 2: Determine how much money Janet spent in the second week.
The problem states that Janet spent 1/4 (one-fourth) of her holiday money in the second week.
Step 3: Calculate the total amount spent by Janet.
Since Janet spent 2/3 in the first week and 1/4 in the second week, we need to add these fractions:
2/3 + 1/4 = 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12.
Step 4: Determine how much money Janet brought back home.
To find the fraction of her holiday money that Janet brought back home, we need to subtract the amount she spent (11/12) from the total amount (1/1):
1/1 - 11/12 = 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12.
Therefore, Janet brought back 1/12 of her holiday money.
If jannat spend 2/3 and 1/4 money
2/3+1/4
L. C. M of 3 and 4 =12
873/12
11/12( she spend=11/12 in her two week holiday)
What is the solution of this question
Giyjko
2/3 +1/4 = 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12
so 1/12
I assumed you mean 1/4 of original and not 1/4 of what was left after spending 2/3
If the second choice then
1/3 left after first week
1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12
3/4 of 1/3 left = 3/12
