Question

Jodi read 38 of a book on monday, 512 of the book on tuesday, and the rest of the book on wednesday. what fraction of the book did jodi read on wednesday?

Answer 1

`(5)/(24)`

Explanation:

I think that 38 means
`(3)/(8)`

`(3)/(8)` +
`(5)/(12)` To add we need a common denominator. That number would be 24

`(3)/(8)` x
`(3)/(3)` =
`(9)/(24)`

`(5)/(12)` x
`(2)/(2)` =
`(10)/(24)`

`(9)/(24)` +
`(10)/(24)` =
`(19)/(24)` This is how much of the book has been read.

`(24)/(24)` This would represent the total amount of the book

`(24)/(24)` -
`(19)/(24)` =
`(5)/(24)` This is the amount of the book that needs to be read to finish the book.
