Question

A grandmother left her estate to her four grandchildren. She left 1/2 to Jill, 1/3 to Jack, 1/6 to Hansel and the remainder was left to Gretel. What frachon of the estate did Gretel receive?

Answer 1

First, add all the fractions:

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1

subtract the result to 1

1-1 = 0

Gretel received 0 (zero)
