Rocco Arroyo · Answer 1

Answer: 7/12 of homework left

Explanation: you change both of the denominators to 12

1/6 x2 is2/12

1/4 x3 is 3/12

Add them together

3+2 = 5

So you have already done 5/12

So 12 - 5 is 7

So you have 7/12 left to do

you have 5/12 or five twelthes left

Explanation:

saturday - 2/12
