Question

Natasha spent LaTeX: \frac{1}{4}1 4of the day cleaning the kitchen. She spent LaTeX: \frac{1}{3}1 3 of that time washing dishes. What fraction of the day did Natasha spend washing dishes?

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

Fraction of time cleaning the kitchen = 1//4

If She spent 1/3 of that time washing dishes, the time of the day she spent washing dishes will be:

Time spent washing dishes = 1/3 of time spent cleaning kitchen

Time spent washing dishes = 1/3 of 1/4

Time spent washing dishes = 1/3 * 1/4

Time spent washing dishes = 1/12

Hence the fraction of the day that Natasha spend washing dishes is 1/12
