harold and millicent are getting married and need to combine their already - full libraries . if harold , who has 1 / 2 as many books as millicent , brings 1 / 3 of his books to their new home , then millicent will have enough room to bring 1 / 4 of her books to their new home . what fraction of millicent ' s old library capacity is the new home ' s library capacity ?
"because we see h willbring 1 / 3 of his booksto the new home - - > try to pick a number that isdivisible by 3 . before : assume h = 30 books h = 1 / 2 m - - > m = 60 books after : h ' = 1 / 3 h = 10 books m ' = 1 / 4 m = 15 books total = 25 books m ' = 25 = 5 / 12 * 60 ratio : 5 / 12 ans : e"
subtract(1, multiply(divide(1, 3), divide(1, 2)))
