Each day I will continue to try to post a maths challenge question set in the everyday context of the real world of today. Today complete the maths problem set, based around Foster Care Fortnight.

In the comments section explain what a Foster Carer is and why the job they do is important.

Foster carers are given an allowance. Work out how the money is spent below, working out the equivalent fraction where necessary.

Money = £600

Food= 2/8            Medical = 1/10       Toiletries = 1/5

Clothes = 2/8      Transport = 2/10

Challenge question

What fraction is spent on food and clothes combined?
