Question

2. Pat also made a container of punch. She gave 1/12 of the punch to her mother to try and ⅛ of the punch to each of her two sisters. What fraction of the punch was left to take to the party? (*Hint 12/12 - 1/12 - 1/8 - 1/8 = ?)

lol, pls help as soon as you can!​

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

1 - (1/12 + 2·1/8)

= 12/12 - (1/12 + 1/4)

= 12/12 - (1/12 + 3/12)

= 12/12 - 4/12

= 8/12 which reduces to 2/3
