Question

Jonathan is making his favorite pasta dish he served his mom 1/12 of the pot of pasta and his brother 1/6 of the pot. how much of the pot is left over?

Answer 1

portion served to both mother and brother

`= (1)/(12) + (1)/(6) \\ (1 + 2)/(12) \\ = (3)/(12)`
remaining portion

`1 - (3)/(12)`
=

`(12)/(12) - (3)/(12)`
=

`(9)/(12) = (3)/(4)`

Answer 2

3/4
1/6 of the pot is 2/12
1/12 + 2/12 is 3/12
1 - 3/12 is 9/12 = 3/4

3/4 of the pot is left over
