Kofi spent 2/3 of his pocket money on food . And 1/3 of the remaining on water . What fraction of his money is left

1 answer

Kofi has 1/3 of his pocket money left.

To see why, we can use fractions to break down what he spent:

- Kofi spent 2/3 of his money on food, which means he has 1/3 of his money left.
- Then, he spent 1/3 of the remaining money on water.
- We can find out how much money he has left by multiplying the fractions:

1/3 (remaining) x 1/3 (spent on water)

= 1/9

So Kofi has 1/9 of his original pocket money left after spending 2/3 on food and 1/3 of the remaining on water.
