Jim walked one quarter of his journey,travelled two thirds of it by bus and cycled the rest.calculate the fraction of the journey Jim cycled
well, 1/4 + 2/3 = 3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12
so, the rest was cycled.
To calculate the fraction of the journey Jim cycled, we need to use the information given.
Let's assume Jim's entire journey is represented by the fraction 1 (or 1/1).
Jim walked one quarter of his journey, which can be represented as 1/4 (since 1/4 represents one out of four equal parts of a whole).
Jim also traveled two-thirds of his journey by bus, which can be represented as 2/3 (since 2/3 represents two out of three equal parts of a whole).
To find the fraction of the journey Jim cycled, we need to subtract the fractions of the journey he walked and traveled by bus from 1 (since 1 represents the entire journey).
1 - (1/4) - (2/3) = (12/12) - (3/12) - (8/12) = 1/12
Therefore, Jim cycled 1/12 of his journey.
