Respuesta :

Answer:

13/36 is left

Step-by-step explanation:

cow- 1/3 = 12/36

goose- 1/12 = 3/36

goat= 2/9 = 8/36

12 + 3 + 8 = 23/36

23/36 is consumed...

13/36 is left

The fraction of the snack left in the bucket will be 13/36.

What is a fraction?

The fraction is defined as the division of the whole part into an equal number of parts.

Given that:

  • cow- 1/3 = 12/36
  • goose- 1/12 = 3/36
  • goat= 2/9 = 8/36

The amount consumed is:-

( 12/ 36 )+ (3 / 36 ) +( 8 / 36 )  = 23/36

So the amount left will be calculated as:-

Amount left = 1 - ( 23 / 36 )

Amount left = ( 36 - 23 ) / 36

Amount left = 13 / 36

Therefore fraction of the snack left in the bucket will be 13/36.
