Question

. Maria spent 1\9of the money her grandparents gave her on an adventure book. She also spent 1/3 of the money on a bag of candy.

What fraction of the payment has Maria spent?

Answer 1

If you add 1/9 and 1/3, it becomes 1/9+3/9, which equals 4/9. thus, 4/9 of the money has been spent. hope it helps!!

Answer 2

`(4)/(9)`

Explanation:

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on an adventure book =
`(1)/(9)`

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on a bag of candy =
`(1)/(3)`

Now we have to find the total fraction of the money that Maria spent.

For that we have to add those 2 fractions together.

Let us solve now.

`( 1)/(9) +(1)/(3)`

`( 1)/(9) +(1*3)/(3*3)`

`(1)/(9) +(3)/(9)`

`(4)/(9)`

There fore, the fraction of the payment has Maria spent is
`(4)/(9)`

Hope this helps you :-)
