Three siblings decided to share the yard work (chores) that their parents assigned. If siblings A and B do 8/12 of the work, what fraction of the work is left for sibling C?


1/2

1/3

1/4

1/5

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

1/3 because 8/12 + 1/3 is 1 whole

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

The whole chore is 1, or 12/12

Subtracting the fraction of work done by A and B

12/12- 8/12 = 4/12

Which simplifies

4/12 = 1/3
