  1. Answer:

    [tex]Empty = \frac{5}{12}[/tex]

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    [tex]Water = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

    [tex]Oil = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

    Required

    The fraction that is empty

    The constituent of the water can be represented as:

    [tex]Water + Oil + Empty = 1[/tex]

    Make Empty the subject

    [tex]Empty = 1 – Water – Oil[/tex]

    Substitute values for Water and Oil

    [tex]Empty = 1 – \frac{1}{3} – \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

    Take LCM

    [tex]Empty = \frac{12 – 4 – 3}{12}[/tex]

    [tex]Empty = \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
