You have 12 balloons to blow up for a party. You blow up 1313 of them, and your friend blows up 5 of them. What fraction of the balloons still need blowing up?
12 balloons total u blow up 1/3.....1/3(12) = 12/3 = 4....so u blow up 4 out of 12...thats 4/12 ur friend blows up 5...he blows up 5 out of 12....thats 5/12
so 4/12 + 5/12 = 9/12....9/12 are blown up.....that leaves 3/12 or 1/4 left to blow up
