Question

Josh saved 1/4 of his pocket money and spent 1/2 of the remainder. What fraction did he spend

Answer 1

he spent 1/2 of the fraction

Answer 2

Answer:
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Let x denotes the total pocket money Josh has.

As per given , we have

Saved pocket money =
`(1)/(4)x`

Money Remains =
`x-(x)/(4)=(3x)/(4)`

Money he spent =
`(1)/(2)` of (Money Remains)

=
`(1)/(2)*(3x)/(4)`

`=`
`(3x)/(8)`

Hence, the fraction of money he spent =
`(3)/(8)`
