Fraction of shampoo left = \frac{13}{24}

Solution:

Given fraction of full shampoo  =\frac{7}{8}.

Fraction of shampoo Margaret used  =\frac{1}{3}

Fraction of shampoo left = Full shampoo – fraction of shampoo used

                                          =\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{3}

To make the denominators same do cross multiplication.

                                          =\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}-\frac{1\times8}{3\times8}

                                          =\frac{21}{24}-\frac{8}{24}

                                          =\frac{21-8}{24}

                                          =\frac{13}{24}

Hence \frac{13}{24} of the shampoo bottle is left.
