Question

Kayla had 3/4 of her book left to read on Sunday night.she read 1/5 of the book Monday afternoon and 1/4 of the book Monday evening. What fraction of the book did she still have left to read after Monday

Answer 1

She would have 3/10 of the book to read after Monday.

Answer 2

3/10

Explanation:

To solve this problem you need to convert the fractions to have the same

denominator.

(3)/(4)=(15)/(20) (1)/(4)=(5)/(20)

(1)/(5)=(4)/(20)

Now proceed to add 4/20 and 5/20. This results in 9/20. Subtract: 15/20- 9/20= 6/20

Simplify: 3/10
