1/2 of the income goes for housing.
1/3 of the income goes for foor.
The sum of these fractions are their expenses.
Note that
[tex] \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{6}, \, and \, \frac{1}{3}= \frac{2}{6} [/tex]
Therefore the fraction of the budget is
[tex] \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
Answer: 5/6
