Anna and Henry are raking their yard. Anna has raked 5/12 of the yard and Henry has raked 4/9 of the yard. What fraction of the yard still
needs to be raked?

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The raked portion is 5/12 plus 4/9, or (applying the LCD, 36),

20/36 + 24/36.

The sum of these two fractions is 44/36, or 1/9.

1/9 of the yard remains to be raked.
