Question

a sales person works 3 days per week. she earns 1/3 of her pay on monday and 1/4 on tuesday. how much of her pay does she earn on Wednesday

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 5/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 1/3 by 4 and 1/4 by 3 so the denominators are both 12. Then you have 4/12 and 3/12 so add those two fractions to get 7/12. if all three days equals 12/12, and Monday plus Tuesday equals 7/12, the remainder of the pay will be 5/12 on Wednesday.

Answer 2

First, we have to add the fractions.

1/3 + 1/4  = 7/12

12 - 7 = 5

She earns 5/12 of her paycheck on Wednesday
