Answer 1

Answer:

Sanjay spends 19/24 of his salary. Please mark me as brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of pocket money spent = sum of all fractions of money spent in each place

$=\frac{1}{8} +\frac{5}{12} +\frac{1}{4}$

LCM of Denominators = 8,12,4 = 24

$= \frac{3}{3} (\frac{1}{8} )+\frac{2}{2} (\frac{5}{12} )+\frac{6}{6} (\frac{1}{4} )\\= \frac{3}{24} +\frac{10}{24} +\frac{6}{24} \\= \frac{3+10+6}{24} \\= \frac{19}{24}$

Answer 2

Answer:

19/24

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of 8,12 and 4 is 24

So: 1/8=3/24

5/12: 10/24

1/4=:6/24

By adding:

6+10+3/24

We get:

=19/24
