Jonathan is making his favorite pasta dish. He serves his mom 1/12 of the pot of pasta and his brother 1/6 of the pot. How much of the pot is left over? PLS HELP I HATE MATH

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/4 of the pot left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mom eats a 1/12 of the pot and then the brother also eats a 1/6 of the pot, then it is 9/12 left of pasta still. The reason for that is since 1/6 is equivalent to 2/12 so 1/12 plus 2/12 is 3/12, and if u subtract 3/12 from 12/12 it will give you 9/12 which can be simplified to 3/4 left of the pot.

Answer:

3/4 of the pot is left over

Step-by-step explanation:

  • find the least common denominator- in this case 12
  • 1/12 and 2/12= 3/12
  • 3/12-12/12=9/12
  • 9/12=3/4 by simplfying
