Fraction Problem - Need Help

[TygGer]

Does anyone know how to figure this out?

If 1/3 was from student loans and 1/4 was from scholarships, how much is the rest of the value?

a) 120
b) 130
c) 140
d) 150
e) 160



If you can, could you please explain. Thanks!

1/3 and 1/4 of what?

 

[minendo]

1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12

So 5/12 was from the rest.

 

[JonnyStarks]

5/12 of whatever the whole is?

Well I certainly must be. So please enlighten me.

When I was given this problem, I asked to see if any information was missing. Apparently, that's all there is to the problem.

How did you figure B?

 

[bootymac]

Definitely B

 

[KLin]

oh now I get the questions. It's all of the above.

 

[Kyteland]

Assuming your starting value is 360, the correct answer is d)

 

[blahblah99]

It's a trick question, the answer is none of the above!

Then obviously you haven't reached the 5th grade yet. You must be a 4th grader, one grade before me.
