What is the total distance traveled by a car that drives 1/4 of a mile in the morning and 3/8 of a mile in the afternoon?

The total distance traveled by the car in one day is 1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8 of a mile.

A pizza recipe calls for 3/4 cup of flour and the cook wants to make 2/3 of the recipe. How much flour should be used?

To make 2/3 of the recipe, the cook should use 1/3 less flour than the original amount. Therefore, 1/3 * 3/4 cup = 1/4 cup of flour should be used in the scaled-down recipe.

If Maria saves 1/5 of her weekly allowance and spends 3/10 of it on a toy, what fraction of her allowance does she have left?

Maria would have 1 - 1/5 - 3/10 = 1 - 2/10 - 3/10 = 1 - 5/10 = 1/2 of her weekly allowance left after saving 1/5 and spending 3/10 on a toy.

A student drinks 1/2 of a glass of water in the morning and another 1/3 of a glass in the afternoon. How much water did he drink in total?

The student drank a total of 5/6 (or 0.83) of a glass of water in total after drinking 1/2 in the morning and 1/3 in the afternoon.

A recipe requires 3/4 cup of sugar, but the cook only has 2/5 cup. How much more sugar does the cook need?

The cook needs 7/20 cup more sugar to meet the requirement of 3/4 cup for the recipe.

A farmer sold 2/3 of his crop and donated 1/4 of what was left. What fraction of the original crop does he have left?

The farmer has 1/3 of the original crop left. He initially sold 2/3 of the crop, leaving him with 1/3. Then he donated 1/4 of what was left (1/3), which would be 1/4 of 1/3, resulting in 1/12 being donated. Subtracted from 1/3, the farmer now has 1/3 - 1/12 = 3/12 - 1/12 = 2/12 = 1/6 of the original crop left.

Jessica read 3/5 of her book on Monday and another 1/4 of it on Tuesday. How much of the book does she have left to read?

Jessica has read a total of 3/5 + 1/4 = 12/20 + 5/20 = 17/20 of her book. Therefore, she has 20/20 - 17/20 = 3/20 of the book left to read.

Out of 30 students, 2/5 of them play basketball and 1/3 of them play soccer. How many students play both sports?

There are 12 students who play basketball (2/5 of 30) and 10 students who play soccer (1/3 of 30). To find out how many students play both sports, we need to find the intersection of the two groups, which is the number of students who play both basketball and soccer. Therefore, 2 students play both sports (10 students who play soccer and 12 students who play basketball).

A rectangle is divided into two smaller rectangles. The first rectangle measures 3/8 of the total area, and the second rectangle measures 5/8 of the total area. What is the ratio of the smaller rectangle areas?

The ratio of the smaller rectangle areas can be calculated by dividing the area of the first rectangle by the area of the second rectangle, which is (3/8) / (5/8) = 3/5. Therefore, the ratio of the smaller rectangle areas is 3:5.

A coupon gives a discount of 2/7 on an item, and a storewide sale gives an additional discount of 1/3 off. What fraction of the original price does the item cost after both discounts?

After applying the coupon's discount of 2/7 and then the storewide sale's discount of 1/3 off, you would multiply the two fractions to find the total discount: (2/7) * (1/3) = 2/21. Subtracting this total discount from 1 (the original price) gives you the fraction that the item costs after both discounts: 1 - 2/21 = 19/21. Thus, the item costs 19/21 of the original price after both discounts.
