Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Skills needed: Fraction Subtraction, Least Common Denominator (LCD)
1) [tex]\frac{6}{8} - \frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{4}[/tex] is the operation you would do.
--> You would do this because, Carlotta has [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] of the paper left, and does one fraction amount ([tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]) on Saturday & does another fraction amount ([tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]) on Sunday.
--> Using subtraction is the best way
2) Now, we need to figure out the Least Common Denominator for all 3 fractions.
8,6,4 are the denominators.
The lowest number that is a factor of all them is 24.
So, it would then become [tex]\frac{18}{24} - \frac{8}{24} - \frac{6}{24}[/tex]
This would become: [tex]\frac{18-8-6}{24}[/tex] (18-8-6 = 4)
So then: [tex]\frac{4}{24}[/tex] is your answer.
This simplifies into [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
Hope this helps and have a nice day!! :) :]
