Snow spent 5/8 of her money on books and another 1/6 of her money on stationeries. What fraction of Kathy’s money was left?

kathy has 1/24 left of her money because you have to do inverse opreation

Well hello there! I don't know the answer!!! It should say what the total was at the end of the payment because that question doesn't make any sense at all?!! 😂😘😳😁

Charles spent 1/4 of his allowance on a shirt, and 2/5 of the remainder on a book.

A.What fraction of his allowance did he have left?

B.If he spent $18 on the book, how much did he have at first?

Can’t figure it out!!

To find out what fraction of Kathy's money was left, we need to subtract the fractions representing the amount of money Snow spent from 1 (since 1 represents the whole amount of the money).

First, let's find the fraction of money Snow spent on books. It is given that she spent 5/8 of her money on books.

To get this fraction, divide the amount Snow spent (5 parts) by the total amount of money (8 parts):

Fraction spent on books = 5/8

Next, let's find the fraction of money Snow spent on stationery. It is given that she spent another 1/6 of her money on stationery.

Similarly, divide the amount Snow spent (1 part) by the total amount of money (6 parts) to get this fraction:

Fraction spent on stationery = 1/6

Now, we can add the fractions of money Snow spent on books and stationery:

Fraction spent on both books and stationery = Fraction spent on books + Fraction spent on stationery

Fraction spent on both books and stationery = 5/8 + 1/6

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 6 is 24:

Fraction spent on both books and stationery = (5/8)*(3/3) + (1/6)*(4/4)

Fraction spent on both books and stationery = 15/24 + 4/24

Fraction spent on both books and stationery = 19/24

Finally, subtract this fraction from 1 to find the fraction of Kathy's money that was left:

Fraction of Kathy's money left = 1 - 19/24

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator:

Fraction of Kathy's money left = 24/24 - 19/24

Fraction of Kathy's money left = 5/24

Therefore, 5/24 of Kathy's money was left.

5/8 + 1/6 =?

fraction left = 1-fraction above
