acey wants to buy gifts for her mom and brother. She decides to spend 1/2 of the money she has on her mom and 1/3 of the money she has on her brother. What fractional portion of her money does she have left after purchasing the two gifts?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the fractional portion of her money Avey has left after purchasing the two gifts, we need to find the remaining fraction of her money.

Avey spends 1/2 of her money on her mom and 1/3 of her money on her brother. Therefore, she has spent a total of 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6 of her money.

To find the remaining fraction, we subtract the amount she spent from 1 (the whole amount of her money): 1 - 5/6 = 1/6.

Therefore, Avey has 1/6 of her money left.
