Answer:
He kept 7/12 of the box.
Explanation:
We add and convert both 1/6 and 1/4 because we cant add fractions with unlike denominators.
1/6 = 2/12 | 1/4 = 3/12
then add.
2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12.
we subtract this from a whole, which is 12/12.
12/12 - 5/12 = 7/12
he keeps 7/12 of the box
hope this helped!
