1/3 of 80
80/3 = 26 2/3 or about $26.67 is spent on savings
1/4 of 80 = 20
$20 for clothing
$20 for fun
1/6 of 80 = 80/ 6
13 1/3 or about $13.33 on snacks
hope this helps

You must convert the fractions into decimals first. Take each one and divide. So 1/4th = 1 divided by 4. This equals .25. Then, take that number and multiply it by $80.00. Do this for each fraction to find your answers.
80 x .25 (which is 1/4) = $20 for clothing
80 x .25 (which is 1/4) = $20 for fun
80 x .17 (1/6 rounded up) = $13.60 snacks
80 x .33 (which is 1/3) = $26.40 for savings

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/4 =
LCD(3, 4, 6, 4) = 12
4 + 3 + 2 + 3 .....12
------------------ = -----
.........12 ............. 12
There is nothing to put into savings.
12/12 = 1 integer = $ 80,00.
