Billy did [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of his homework on Friday and Saturday
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
- Billy did 1/6 of his homework on Friday
- He did 1/6 more on Saturday
- Billy still had 4/6 to finish
We need to find how much of his homework Billy did on Friday and Saturday
∵ Billy did [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of his homework on Friday
∵ He did [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] more on Saturday
∵ He still had [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] to finish
- That means Billy divided his homework into six equal parts, he
did 2 of them and still had 4 parts to do them
∴ He did = [tex]\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{6}[/tex] of his homework
∴ He did 2 parts of the homework from 6 parts
- Simplify the fraction by dividing up and down by 2
∵ 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 6 ÷ 2 = 3
∴ He did = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of his homework
Billy did [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of his homework on Friday and Saturday
