A school wants to make a new playground.

They give the job of planning the playground to a group of students. The students decide to use \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the playground for a basketball court and \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the playground for a soccer field. How much of the playground is left for the swings and play equipment?

1/4= 2/8 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8 Therefore, 3/8 of the playground is left for the swings and play equipment

Times 1/4 by 2 so they have the same denominator, = 2/8 So, 2/8+3/8= 5/8 1- 5/8 = 3/8 3/8 is left for the swings and play equipment.

The playground has 8 5 ​ allocated for a basketball court and a soccer field combined. After removing that from the whole, 8 3 ​ of the playground remains for swings and play equipment. Thus, 8 3 ​ is the portion still available for additional playground features.
