Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

24 is a common multiple so ill just use that as a denominator:

3/8 = 9/24

1/3 = 8/24

1/4 = 6/24

so then adding those up:

[tex]\frac{9}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{8}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{24}[/tex]

then whats left is 1/24 left to read, which cant be simplified so [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Answer:

   [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the part of the book he read on fourth day.

[tex]\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + x = 1[/tex]

[tex]LCM \ of \ 8, 3 , 4 = 24.\ Therefore , \\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + x = 1\\\\\frac{9 + 8 + 6 + 24x}{24} = 1\\\\23 + 24x = 24\\24x = 1\\x = \frac{1}{24}[/tex]

[tex]On\ the\ fourth\ day\ he\ read\ \frac{1}{24} \ of\ the\ book\ to\ finish\ it.[/tex]
