Wednesday 13381

Michael spent his pocket money on Monday, 2/5, Tuesday, 0.1, and Wednesday, 1/3. What part of his pocket money did he have left?

Write the result in the basic form.

Correct answer:

x =  1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{2}{5}+0.1+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{6}\doteq 0.8333 \\ x=1-s=1-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1\cdot 6}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6-5}{6}=\frac{1}{6}=0.1667 \end{gathered}$$
