Judy read \(\frac{1}{2}\) (one-half) of the total book on Friday night. On Saturday night, she read \(\frac{2}{7}\) (two-sevenths) of the total book. What fraction of the total book does she have left to read?

Answer (2)

so the queston is asking 1/2+2/7+x=1/1=whole book to add fractions, we must make sure that the denomenators are the same sso 1/2=7/14 2/7=4/14 7/14+4/14=11/14 11/14+x=14/14 subtract 11/14 from both sides x=3/14 3/14 of the book left to read

Judy has read \( \frac{11}{14} \) of the book in total. Therefore, she has \( \frac{3}{14} \) of the book left to read. This was calculated by converting the fractions to a common denominator and subtracting the total read from the whole book.
