Question

John read 1/3 of his book on the first day and 1/4 of the book on the second day. What fraction of the book does John have left to read?

Answer 1

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole book is 1.

So This will be your equation.

1/3 + 1/4 = 1

4/12 +3/12 = 1

7/12 = 1

Now you minus 7/12 from 1

1-7/12 is how much is left

12/12-7/12= 5/12

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the book

1/3b is the amount he finished on the first day

1/4b is the amount he finished on the second day

b - (1/3b + 1/4b) is how much he has left

b- (4/12b + 3/12b)       make the denominators the same

b- 7/12b                       add the fractions

5/12b                          The answer

John has 5/12 of the book to finish

I am sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted

But I hope this helps in someway!!!!
