If a boy spend 5/8 of his money what fraction of his money is Left
3/8
To find out what fraction of the money is left, we need to subtract the amount of money spent from the total amount of money the boy had.
Let's assume the boy started with a certain amount of money. We can represent this as a fraction. Let's say he had 1 whole unit of money, which can be represented as 1/1.
If the boy spent 5/8 of his money, we need to subtract 5/8 from 1/1:
1/1 - 5/8
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, we can use 8 as the common denominator:
1/1 = 8/8
8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
Therefore, the boy has 3/8 of his money left.
