Question

A school wants to make a new playground by cleaning up an abandoned lot that is shaped like a rectangle. They give the job of cleaning the playground. The students decide to use 1/4 of the playground for a basketball court and 3/8 of the playground for a soccer field. How much is left for the SWINGS and playground equipment

Answer 1

1 - 1/4 - 3/8

relate all these values as fractions with a common denominator of 8

8/8 - 2/8 - 3/8

(8 - 2 - 3)/8

3/8 is the amount left, so this means there is 3/8 of the playground left for SWINGS and playground equipment

Answer 2

5/8 i think. :/ because u add 1/4+3/8 which u times 1 and 4 by 2 since its the common denominator then add them and that would be 5/8
