Question

2. Nuri spent 9/12 of his money on a book and the rest of his money on a pencil.

a. Express how much money Nuri spent on his pencil in fourths.

b. Nuri started with $1. How much money did he spend on the pencil?​

Answer 1

25 cents/ 1/4 of the whole

Explanation:

9/12 can be simplified by 3 into 3/4 and $1 is a whole so in all its 4/4. Then, you subtract 3/4 from 4/4 that gives you 1/4 and he spends the rest (25 cents) on the pencil.
