Answer:
15/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Talia spent 3/4 of this week's allowance on candy. Of the money she spent on candy, 5/6 was spent on gummy bears.
What fraction of this week's allowance did Talia spend on gummy bears?
Answer: Let this weeks allowance be x. Talia spent 3/4 of the weeks allowance on candy, therefore the money spent on candy = (3/4)x.
Out of the money spent on candy, 5/6 was spent on gummy bears. Therefore the money spent on gummy bears = 5/6 × (3/4)x = (15/24)x.
This means that the fraction of money spent on gummy bears was 15/24 of the weeks allowance.
