A boy spends 3/5 of his pocket money on Monday and 3/10 on Wednesday.What fraction of his money is left?
6/10 + 3/10 = 9/10 spent
so, ...
To find the fraction of money left, we need to subtract the fractions spent from 1 (whole).
On Monday, the boy spent 3/5 of his money. So the fraction of money spent is 3/5.
On Wednesday, the boy spent 3/10 of his money. So the fraction of money spent is 3/10.
To find the fraction of money left, we subtract the fractions spent from 1:
1 - (3/5 + 3/10)
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 5 and 10 is 10.
1 - (6/10 + 3/10)
Now, we can combine the fractions:
1 - 9/10
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 10.
10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10
Therefore, the fraction of money left is 1/10.
To find out what fraction of the boy's money is left, we need to subtract the amounts of money he spent from the total amount.
Let's assume the boy's total pocket money to be 1 whole unit.
On Monday, he spends 3/5 of his money. So, the amount left after Monday is 1 - 3/5 = 2/5.
On Wednesday, he spends 3/10 of the remaining money. The amount left after Wednesday is 2/5 - 3/10.
To subtract fractions, we need to make the denominators equal. Both 5 and 10 are factors of 10, so we can convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 10: 2/5 = (2/5) * (2/2) = 4/10.
Now we can subtract the fractions: 4/10 - 3/10 = 1/10.
Therefore, the boy has 1/10 of his money left.
So, the answer to the question is: 1/10 of his money is left.
