George had $120 to buy new baseball equipment. He spent a third his money on a glove, a fourth of his money on a bat, a sixth of his money on a cap and the remaining money on baseballs. How much money did he spend on each item?
120/3=40
120/4=30
120/6=20
120-90=30
$40 on a gloves, $30 on a bat, $20 on a cap, $30 on baseballs
To find the amount of money George spent on each item, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount of money George spent on the glove.
George spent a third of his money on a glove, so we need to find one-third of his total money.
One-third of his money is (1/3) * $120 = $<<1/3*120=40>>40.
Step 2: Calculate the amount of money George spent on the bat.
George spent a fourth of his money on a bat, so we need to find one-fourth of his total money.
One-fourth of his money is (1/4) * $120 = $<<1/4*120=30>>30.
Step 3: Calculate the amount of money George spent on the cap.
George spent a sixth of his money on a cap, so we need to find one-sixth of his total money.
One-sixth of his money is (1/6) * $120 = $<<1/6*120=20>>20.
Step 4: Calculate the remaining money George spent on baseballs.
To find the remaining money spent on baseballs, subtract the amount spent on the glove, bat, and cap from the total money George had.
Remaining money = $120 - ($40 + $30 + $20) = $120 - $90 = $30.
George spent $40 on a glove, $30 on a bat, $20 on a cap, and $30 on baseballs.
