A school girl spends \(\frac{1}{4}\) of her pocket money on books and \(\frac{1}{3}\) on dress. What fraction remains?
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
\(\frac{7}{12}\)
\(\frac{5}{12}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
Correct answer is C
Let the girls pocket money be rep. by x. The amount spent on books = \(\frac{1}{4}of\hspace{1mm}x = \frac{x}{4}\)
The amount spent on dress \(=\frac{1}{3} of \hspace{1mm}x=\frac{x}{3}\)
∴The fraction that remains = \(\frac{x}{1}-\left(\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{3}\right)\\
\frac{3x+4x}{12}; = \frac{12x-7x}{12} = \frac{5x}{12} = \frac{5}{12}\)
