Question

Jeff spends 1/2 of his paycheck he then gives 1/3 of the remainder to charity and then puts the rest in the bank what fraction of his paycheck does he put in the bank??

Answer 1

A way to solve this is to give each fraction the same denominator:

1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6

so he spent 3/6 of his paycheck, then he puts the 2/6 to Charity so we add the fractions. That is 5/6. then we subtract 6/6 - 5/6 and get 1/6.

Jeff put 1/6 of his paycheck in the bank
 

Answer 2

He slready spent 1/2 of his paycheck, so he has 1/2 left.
To fimd out 1/3 of 1/2 just multiply.
1/2 x 1/3= 1/6

Jeff gave 1/6 of his money to thr bank.
