Question

. Maria spent 1\9of the money her grandparents gave her on an adventure book. She also spent 1/3 of the money on a bag of candy.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on an adventure book = $\frac{1}{9}$

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on a bag of candy = $\frac{1}{3}$

Now we have to find the total fraction of the money that Maria spent.

For that we have to add those 2 fractions together.

Let us solve now.

$\frac{ 1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{ 1}{9} +\frac{1*3}{3*3}$

$\frac{1}{9} +\frac{3}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}$

There fore, the fraction of the payment has Maria spent is $\frac{4}{9}$

Hope this helps you :-)

Answer 2

If you add 1/9 and 1/3, it becomes 1/9+3/9, which equals 4/9. thus, 4/9 of the money has been spent. hope it helps!!
