Question

Ron,Rai and Ayesha went to a restaurant to have dinner. Ron paid 1/4 of the total amount .Rai paid 2/3 of the bill amount .What part of the bill was paid by Ayesha​

Answer 1

given,

• Ron paid 1/4 of the bill
• Rai paid 2/3 of the bill
• part of bill payed by Ayesha = x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that these fractions are a part of a whole (1/1).

then;

1/4 + 2/3 + x = 1/1

LCM(4,3)= 12

1/4(3/3) + 2/3(4/4) + x = 1/1

3/12 + 8/12 +x = 1/1

11/12 + x = 1/1

x = 1/1 - 11/12

LCM(1,12) = 12

x = 1/1(12/12) -11/12

x = 12/12 - 11/12

x = 1/12

therefore;

Ayesha paid 1/12 of the bill.
