11 / 24

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you mean 1/6

We have to calculate the fraction of Paula's allowance that she spent on other items if she already had spent 3/8 on clothes and 1/6 on entertainment. First we have to add: 3 / 8 + 1 / 6 = (LCD is 24) = 9 / 24 + 4 / 24 = 13 / 24. Then : 1 - 13 / 24 = 24 / 24 - 13 / 24 = 11 / 24. Answer: She has spent 11 / 24 of her allowance on other items.
