Question

A job is shared by 4 workers, w, x, y, and z. worker w does 1/4 of the total hours. worker x does 1/3 of the total hours. worker y does 1/6 of the total hours. what fraction represents the remaining hours allocated to person z?

Answer 1

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 9/12 reduces to 3/4...leaving 1/4 for worker z.

answer is : 1/4 hrs was allocated to worker z
