Answer:
2/3 of band practice was spent playing music.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the common denominator.
6 times 4 is 24
8 times 3 is 24
multiply the numerators by the same value as the denominator (for 1/8 both the 1 and the 8 would be multiplied by 3, and for 1/6 both the 1 and the six would be multiplied by 4)
4/24 + 3/24
next the questions is asking for the remaining practice time.
add numerators when the denominators are the same.
4 + 3 = 7
= 7/24
24/24 - 7/24 = 16/24
(24 - 7 = 16)
now divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.
16 ÷ 8 = 2
24 ÷ 8 = 3
The answer would be that 2/3 of band practice was spent playing music.
Answer: 5/12 of the practice time was spent playing music.
Step-by-step explanation:
On Friday 1/8 of band practice was spent trying on uniforms. The band spent 1/6 of practice on marching. It means that the total practice time spent on trying on uniforms and marching is
1/8 + 1/6 = (3 + 4)/24 = 7/24
The remaining practice time has been playing music. It means that the fraction of the practice spent in playing music is
1 - 7/12 = 5/12
