Answer 1

C: 13/32

Explanation:

Change 1/4 and 1/8 into 4/32 and 8/32 and add them up with the 7/32 and then subtract the top and you have your answer

Answer 2

13/32 left over.

Explanation:

First, you would want to convert the 1/4 and 1/8 to ?/32. You would get: 7/32 on housing, 8/32 on food, and 4/32 on transportation.

To get those numbers this is what you do: 1/4 was spent on food. 32 divided by 4 is 8. So that would be 8/32. I hope you understand, because I'm not that good at explaining!

Then you add those up: 7/32 + 8/32 + 4/32. You would get 19/32 as your total, which means you have 13/32 left over. I hope this helped!
