Question

A fish tank is three-fourths full.

One-third of the water leaks out.
How full is the fish tank now?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(5)/(12)`

Explanation:

We will subtract the amount of water that leaked out from the amount of water originally in the fish tank.

`\displaystyle (3)/(4) - (1)/(3) =(3*3)/(4*3) -(1*4)/(3*4) =(9)/(12) -(4)/(12)=(5)/(12)`

The fish tank is
`(5)/(12)` of the way full.
