You spend half of your allowance on Monday. On Tuesday, you spend half of what is left. Then on Wednesday, you spend half of what remains. What fraction of your allowance do you have left?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of your allowance.

Monday    and     Tuesday   and   Wednesday = Remainder of allowance

   [tex]\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]            *               [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]            *            [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]              =            [tex]\frac{1}{2*2*2}x[/tex]

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