Question

Abena spent one-fourths of her money on sweets, four-sevenths on provisions and the rest on gari. What fraction of her money did she spend on gari?

Answer 1

Answer:

5/28

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the common denominator of the fractions you are working with.

1/4's denominator is 4, and 4/7's denominator is 7.

To find the common denominator, multiply each x2, x3, x4 etc. until you get a shared number.

4 x 7 = 28

7 x 4 = 28

The common denominator is 28.

Now, convert 1/4 and 4/7.

1/4 is equal to 7/28.

1/7 equals 4/28, so 4/7 is equal to 16/28.

Now add these two together.

7/28 + 16/28 =

23/28

Since she spent the rest on Gari, she would have 5/28ths of her money left.

Your final answer is 5/28.
