Question

The coach of the Miami Heat has a player report due Tuesday. He wrote 1/8 of the report on Saturday. He wrote 1/2 of the report on Sunday. What part of the report does the coach have left to write?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out the part of the report that the coach has left to write, we first need to find out how much of the report he has already written. On Saturday, he wrote 1/8 of the report, and on Sunday, he wrote 1/2 of the report.

So, the total part of the report that the coach has written is:

1/8 + 1/2 = 5/8

Now, we subtract this fraction from 1 to find the part of the report that the coach still has to write.

1 - 5/8 = 3/8

So, the coach has 3/8 of the report left to write.
