Question

Could y’all explain I don’t get this

Answer 1

1/24 of her money is remaining after the three purchases.

Explanation:

To find what percentage of money Xyla has left, we must know what percent of her money she is spending. Our fractions are

1/8, 2/3, 1/6

to add these, we must find a common multiple between 8, 3, and 6. This would allow each denominator to be the same number.

A common multiple of the three is 24. Therefore, we multiply each fraction by the number that will allow the fractions to have a denominator of 24.

1/8*3=3/24

2/3*8=16/24

1/6*4=4/24

Then, we add the fractions:

3/24+16/24+4/24=23/24

Xyla has spend 23/24 of her money. Therefore, she has 1/24 of her money remaining.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Xyla has all of her money to start so she has 1.

start by converting all fractions so they have a common denominator.

1/8 = 3/24

2/3 = 16/24

1/6 = 4/24

add these. it totals to

23/24

Now we subtract the whole: 1.

1 - 23/24 = 1/24

Xyla has 1/24 of her money left.
