Respuesta :
a) harry spent 5/8 of his pocket money
b) harry has 3/8 of his pocket money left
HOW I DID IT
basically we want to add fractions in the first part so ( 1/2 + 1/8 ) to do this you have to make the denominator equal (number on the bottom) so to get 2 to 8 you have to multiply it by 4 and whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so you multiply the top by 4 as well that gives you 4/8 + 1/8 and you just add the top numbers then you find out the difference for the second part of the equation

How to find the fraction of money he spent?
This week Harry spent 1/2 of his pocket money on a ticket for a football match. Therefore,
let
x = amount of money he has
Therefore,
amount spent on football match = 1 /2 x
He also spent 1/8 of his pocket money on a scarf at the match.
Therefore,
amount spent on scarf = 1 / 8 x
Fraction of money spent = 1 / 2 x + 1 / 8 x = 4 + 1 / 8 = 5 / 8 x
Fraction of money left = x - 5/8 x = 8x - 5x/8 = 3 / 8 x
