She spent 1/6 of it on snacks and 1/3 of it on a new book. She saves the rest. What fraction of the money did she save?

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

You are going to add the two fractions and but first you need to have the same denominator so you have 1/6 then 1/3 converts to 2/6 then you add then together which simplifies to 1/2 then u subtract it by one whole.

Answer:

Explanation:

First step is that you need to have the same denominators so 1/3=2/6

If she spent 1/6 on snacks and 2/6 on a book which means she spent 3/6

so the fraction of what she saved is 3/6 or 1/2
