Answer 1

Billy did  $\frac{1}{3}$  of his homework on Friday and Saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

• Billy did 1/6 of his homework on Friday

• He  did 1/6 more on Saturday

• Billy still had 4/6 to  finish

We need to find how much of his homework Billy did on Friday and Saturday

∵ Billy did  $\frac{1}{6}$  of his homework on Friday

∵ He did  $\frac{1}{6}$ more on Saturday

∵ He still had  $\frac{4}{6}$ to finish

- That means Billy divided his homework into six equal parts, he

  did 2 of them and still had 4 parts to do them

∴ He did = $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{6}$ of his homework

∴ He did 2 parts of the homework from 6 parts

- Simplify the fraction by dividing up and down by 2

∵ 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 6 ÷ 2 = 3

∴ He did = $\frac{1}{3}$ of his homework

Billy did  $\frac{1}{3}$  of his homework on Friday and Saturday
