The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3 8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1 3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs, what fraction of barbecued items are mushroom caps? 17 24 4 11 3 8 1 8 7 24

Respuesta :

Answer: 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the items barbecued that are veggie burgers = 3/8

Fraction of the items barbecued that are corn cobs = 1/3

The fraction of the items barbecued that are mushrooms caps will be:

= 1 - (3/8 + 1/3)

The lowest common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24.

= 1 - (3/8 + 1/3)

= 1 - [(3/8 × 24) + [(1/3 × 24)]

= 1 - (9/24 + 8/24)

= 1 - 17/24

= 7/24
