Question

During a trip, Martha drove 1/6 of the time, Chris drove 1/4 of the time, and Juan drove the rest of the time. What fraction of the time did Juan drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Juan drove 7/12 of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time = x

Martha = 1/6x

Chris = 1/4x

Juan = the rest of the time

x - 1/6x - 1/4x = Juan

7/12x = Juan

Juan drove 7/12 of the time

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

If Martha drove 1/6 and Chris drove 1/4 you add the too fractions by making the denominators the same so:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 + 1/4 = 2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12

now, what is the difference:

12/12 - 5/12 = 7/12

so Juan drove 7/12
