Decorations for the seventh-grade dance take 1/6 of the student council's budget. entertainment takes 3/8 of the budget. what fraction of the budget do these expenses cover? what fraction is left for other activities? (hint: to answer the second question, subtract the answer to the first from 1, which represents the whole budget.)

13/24 of the budget for decorations and entertainment.

11/24 left for other activities

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

To find what fraction of the budget these expenses cover we have to sum them:

1/6 + 3/8 = 4/24 + 9/24 = 13/24 of the budget

Fraction left: we have to subtract the previous result to 1, which represents the whole budget:

1-13/24 = 24/24-13/24= 11/24 left for other activities.

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general
