Question

Cady's cats often share a carton of cat milk. Sammy always drinks 1/3 of the carton, tommy drinks 5/12 of the carton and Suzi drinks 1/6 of the carton . What fraction of the carton of cat milk is left over ?

Answer 1

Start by making the denominators equal.

1/3 becomes 4/12
1/6 becomes 2/12
and you have 5/12.

Add together to get 10/12.

Once simplified, the answer should be 5/6.
