I NEED HELP!!
Chad bought a box of raisins. He gave 1/6 of it to one brother, 1/4 to another brother, and he kept the rest for himself. What fraction did he keep?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the total fraction of raisins he gave to his brothers

=

Step 2: Find the lowest common multiple(Lcm) of 6 and 4

Lcm of 6 and 4 = 12

Step 3: Add the fractions

= [tex]\frac{2+ 3}{12}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Step 4: To find the fraction that he kept, you will subtract the total fractions he gave his brothers from 1.

[tex]1 - \frac{5}{12} \\= \frac{12-5}{12} \\= \frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Final answer

The fraction that he kept = [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
