Question

John had 72 flyers supposed around town last week he posted 1/3of them this week he posted 5/6 of the remaining flyers how many flyers has he still not posted

Answer 1

8 posters

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find how many he posted the first week. You do this by multiplying 72 by 1/3, or 72/3. That is 24. Then, you need to subtract that amount, 72-24 is 48. Then, you need to figure out how many he posted the second week. To do that, you need to figure out what 1/6 of 48 is first. So you would need to divide 48 by 6, which equals 8. So if John posted 5/6 of 48, you then need to multiply 8 by 5, equaling 40. If john posted 40 of his 48, then 48-40 is 8, meaning he has 8 posters to post.
