Question

haley did \\(\frac{8}{12}\\) of her math homework over the weekend. she completed \\(\frac{3}{12}\\) of the homework on saturday. what fraction of the homework did she complete on sunday? how much more does she have left to finish? \\(\frac{10}{12};\frac{1}{12}\\) \\(\frac{5}{12};\frac{4}{12}\\) \\(\frac{11}{12};\frac{6}{12}\\) \\(\frac{7}{12};\frac{2}{12}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find Sunday's completion

Subtract Saturday's fraction from weekend's total.
$\frac{8}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$

Step2: Find remaining homework

Subtract weekend's total from 1 (whole homework, $\frac{12}{12}$).
$\frac{12}{12} - \frac{8}{12} = \frac{4}{12}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$ ; $\frac{4}{12}$ (corresponding to the option: $\boldsymbol{\frac{5}{12} ; \frac{4}{12}}$)
