Question

Four students were scheduled to give book reports in 1 hour. After the first report, 2/3 of the hour remained. The next two reports took 1/6 hour and 1/4 hour. What fraction of the hour remained?

Answer 1

3/12 or 1/4 if you have to answer with the simplest form

Answer 2

Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

1/4 of the hour remains because if you take 1/4 plus 1/6 it becomes 5/12 and 2/3 subtracted by 5/12 is 1/4
