Algebra.Com's Answer #496347 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25% of 1/6 = 0.25 * (1/6) = (1/4)*(1/6) = 1/24\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add this to 1/6 to get 1/6 + 1/24 = 4/24 + 1/24 = 5/24\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the fraction going to rent is 5/24\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The fraction going to the car payment is 1/6 (given)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the two fractions: 1/6 + 5/24 = 4/24+5/24 = 9/24 = 3/8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=======================================================\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer: 3/8 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
