Question

Billy looks through a holiday brochure at holidays in Spain. Greece, Italy and the U.K. 1/3 of holidays are in Spain, 1/6 in Greece and 1/8 in Italy. The remainder are in the uk. What fraction of the holidays advertised are in the uk?

Answer 1

1/3 + 1/6 + 1/8 = 8/24 + 4/24 + 3/24 = 15/24...that leaves UK with 9/24 which reduces to 3/8

Answer 2

3/8 advertised are in the UK.
