1/3 + 1/6 + 1/8 = 8/24 + 4/24 + 3/24 = 15/24...that leaves UK with 9/24 which reduces to 3/8

The fraction of the holidays advertised in the UK is 3/8 if Billy looks through a holiday brochure at holidays in Spain.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

We have:

Billy looks through a holiday brochure at holidays in Spain. Greece, Italy, and the U.K. 1/3 of the holidays are in Spain, 1/6 in Greece, and 1/8 in Italy.

The total time spent in Spain, Greece, and Italy = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/8

= (8+4+3)/24

= 15/24 = 5/8

Time spent in UK = 1 - 5/8

= 3/8

Thus, the fraction of the holidays advertised in the UK is 3/8 if Billy looks through a holiday brochure at holidays in Spain.
