I NEED HELP!!

Chad bought a box of raisins. He gave 1/6 of it to one brother, 1/4 to another brother, and he kept the rest for himself. What fraction did he keep?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the total fraction of raisins he gave to his brothers

=

Step 2: Find the lowest common multiple(Lcm) of 6 and 4

Lcm of 6 and 4 = 12

Step 3: Add the fractions

=
`(2+ 3)/(12)`

=
`(5)/(12)`

Step 4: To find the fraction that he kept, you will subtract the total fractions he gave his brothers from 1.

`1 - (5)/(12) \\= (12-5)/(12) \\= (7)/(12)`

Final answer

The fraction that he kept =
`(7)/(12)`
