Question

im on think through math and i dont want to solve this

Answer 1

Assuming you want to know what fraction of the original amount you have.

 

a = allowance

(1/2)a = what have left after Monday

(1/2(1/2)a = what you have after Tuesday

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)a = what you have after Wednesday.

 

Doing the multiplication.

 

(1/8)a = what you have left.

 

You have 1/8 of what you had at the start.
