Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Mr.x spends 1/4 of his income on food and 1/3 less than what he spent on food, on the education of his children. what fraction of his income    did he spend on food and education.

• Let the income be Rs p
• Now Spent on food will be ¼ p
• Spent on education will be p / 4 – 1/3 (p / 4)
•                                              p/4 (1 – 1/3)
•                                             p/4 (2/3)
•                                           = p/6
• Now total on food and education will be p/4 + p/6 = 5p/12
• Therefore the required fraction will be 5p / 12 / p = 5/12
