Question

From fours cans with 96 bolts in each 3/4 of the bolts In one can are used, as are 5/8 of the bolts in the second can are used, 1/2 of the bolts in a third can, and 1/4 in the remaining can. What is the fraction in the total number of bolts remaining in these four cans?

Answer 1

3/4 + 5/8 + 1/2 + 1/4 = (6+5+8+2)/8 = 21/8
The 4 cans were 32/8, so that leaves 11/8 of a can, or 11/32 of the whole amount

Answer 2
