Question

Sanjay spends $\frac{6}{11}$ of his salary on food and $\frac{3}{11}$ on house rent. Find the part of his salary he spends on both things together?

Answer 1

Given Sanjay spends $\frac{6}{11}$ of his salary on food

Sanjay spends $\frac{3}{11}$ of his salary on house rent

To find the part of his salary he spends on both things together

Total part of salary $=$A part of salary on food $+$A part of salary on house rent

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{6}{11}+\frac{3}{11} \\ =\frac{6+3}{11} \\ =\frac{9}{11} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the part of his salary he spends on both things together is $\frac{9}{11}$
