Macey 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?

Answer 1

Let X be the amount of money Macey has.
Macey spent X/2 on her mom.
Macey spent X/3 on her brother.
Macey spent a total of X/2 + X/3 = 3X/6 + 2X/6 = 5X/6 on gifts.
Macey has X - 5X/6 = (6X - 5X)/6 = X/6 left. Answer: \boxed{\dfrac{1}{6}}.
