Question

Tracy read 1/2 of her new book on Tuesday. She would like to read 1/4 of what remains this weekend. What fraction of the whole book will she read this weekend

Answer 1

Tuesday = 1/2 of the book

Weekend = 1/4 of what remains

First, calculate the remain after Tuesday:

1-1/2 = 1/2

Multiply the amount read by the remain:

1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

Fraction of the whole book: 1/8
