A school girl spends $\frac{1}{4}$ of her pocket money on books and $\frac{1}{3}$ on dress. What fraction remains?

\frac{5}{6}

\frac{7}{12}

\frac{5}{12}

\frac{1}{6}

Answer Details

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{x}{1} = 1

\frac{3 + 4 + 12 x}{12} = 1

7 + 12 x = 12

12 x = 12 - 7 = 5

x = \frac{5}{12}
