Question

Billy is painting his house. He painted of his house in 1/3 the morning and of his house in the afternoon. Which fraction of the house does he have left to paint? 1/8

13/24

9/11

5/24

2/11

Answer 1

It should be 5/24 because since they are both different fractions, you need to find their common denominator. Therefore, their LCD: 24. So, 1/3 would become 8/24 and 1/8 would become 3/24. Then you just subtract them I believe. To give you 5/24. Hope this helps!
