Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] of the cake
Step-by-step explanation:
add [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] to see the total amount of cake eaten.
a. find the common denominator: 8 x 3 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24
b. multiply accordingly to get the correct numerator: [tex]\frac{3}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{24}[/tex]
c. add: [tex]\frac{3}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{24}[/tex]
subtract found value from total to find left over cake.
a. 24 - 7 = 14
simplify.
a. [tex]\frac{14}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
You are left with [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] of the cake.
