Question

Nadia spent 1/4 of her money on a shirt and 2/5 on new shoes. What fraction of Nadia's money has been spent? What fraction of her money is left

Answer 1

Answer:

13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 plus 2/5=

1/4 2/5

4 time 5= 20

5 time 1= 5

4 time 2= 8

8/20+5/20=13/20

Answer 2

Fraction of Nadia's money has been spent is $\frac{13}{20}$ and the fraction of her money is left is $\frac{7}{20}$

Further explanation

In mathematics, the fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator, where the numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, and the denominator is the total number of parts that make up said whole. For example, $\frac{1}{2}$ is a fraction.

The three types of fractions are :

1. Proper fraction, where fractions whose numerators are less than the denominators (Numerator < denominator). For example: [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error] [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], etc
2. Improper fraction, where fractions with the numerator either equal to or greater than the denominator (Numerator = denominator or, Numerator > denominator). For example: [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error], [Math Processing Error]
3. Mixed fraction, where a combination of a proper fraction and a whole number. For example: 1[Math Processing Error], 2[Math Processing Error], 3[Math Processing Error], 4[Math Processing Error], 11[Math Processing Error], 9[Math Processing Error] and 12[Math Processing Error]

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{8}{20} = \frac{13}{20}$

We can also draw 4x5 of rectangular and fill 5 units for shirts and 8 units for new shoes

Therefore, the fraction of Nadia's money has been spent is $\frac{13}{20}$ and the fraction of her money is left is $\frac{7}{20}$ because

$\frac{20}{20} -\frac{13}{20} = \frac{7}{20}$
