liza filled 1/4 of a container with water while ted added 1/3 Of the container with water. What fraction of the container of water must be paired out so that tge container ia half-full?

Answer 1

First change the two fractions to fractions with the same denominator (bottom number)

1/4 is the same as 3/12

1/3 is the same as 4/12

So together the container is 7/12 full of water.

Since you want it to be half full (6/12) then you have 1/12 extra to be poured out.

Answer 2

1/4 + 1/3

3/12 + 4/12

7/12

1/2 = 6/12

So 1/12 must be poured out.
