Question

Jodi read 3/8 of a book on monday,5/12 of the book on tuesday,and the rest of the book on wednesday.What fraction of the book did Jodi read on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Jodi read $\frac{5}{24}$ of the book on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Fraction of book read on Monday = 3/8

Fraction of book read on Tuesday = 5/12

Fraction of book read on Wednesday = x

Total book = 1

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday = 1

$\frac{3}{8}+\frac{5}{12}+x=1\\x=1-\frac{3}{8}-\frac{5}{12}\\x=\frac{24-9-10}{24}\\x=\frac{24-19}{24}\\x=\frac{5}{24}$

Jodi read $\frac{5}{24}$ of the book on Wednesday.
