Question

Mr. White and Co. has total profit of 6/7 million dollars. The spinning department gave a profit 1/4 of million dollars. Find the fraction of profit from other departments.

Answer 1

Answer: 17/28

Explanation:

Since there is a total profit of 6/7 million dollars and the spinning department gave a profit of 1/4 million, then the profit gotten from other departments will be the fraction of profit from the spinning department subtracted from the total profit. This will be:

= 6/7 - 1/4

= 24/28 - 7/28

= 17/28

The fraction of profit from other department is 17/28.
