Question

Kylie spends 1/5 of her pocket money on chocolates and 2/3 on music. She saves the rest of her money. What fraction of her pocket money does she save?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's start by adding the fractions of pocket money Kylie spends on chocolates and music:

1/5 (chocolates) + 2/3 (music)

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator:

1/5 = 3/15 (multiply numerator and denominator by 3)

2/3 = 10/15 (multiply numerator and denominator by 5)

So, now we can add the fractions:

3/15 + 10/15 = 13/15

Therefore, Kylie spends 13/15 of her pocket money on chocolates and music. To find the fraction of her pocket money she saves, we can subtract this fraction from 1:

1 - 13/15 = 2/15

So, Kylie saves 2/15 of her pocket money.
