The image contains a math word problem that asks to find out what part of Saumya's salary was spent on different expenses. The fractions involved are:

- \( \frac{1}{4} \) on food
- \( \frac{1}{5} \) on education
- \( \frac{1}{10} \) on medicines

The goal is to calculate the total fraction of the salary spent.

### Solution:
We need to add the fractions:  
\[
\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10}
\]

The least common denominator (LCD) of 4, 5, and 10 is 20. Let's express each fraction with 20 as the denominator:

\[
\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{20}, \quad \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{20}, \quad \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{20}
\]

Now, adding these:

\[
\frac{5}{20} + \frac{4}{20} + \frac{2}{20} = \frac{11}{20}
\]

So, Saumya spent \( \frac{11}{20} \) of her salary.

Let me know if you want further clarification or details!

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. If Saumya spent another \( \frac{1}{8} \) on transportation, how much of her salary would she have left?
2. Convert \( \frac{11}{20} \) to a percentage.
3. What is the sum of \( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} \)?
4. How much of Saumya's salary is left after spending \( \frac{11}{20} \)?
5. What is the least common denominator of \( \frac{1}{6} \), \( \frac{1}{8} \), and \( \frac{1}{12} \)?

**Tip:** To add fractions, always find the least common denominator, which is the smallest number that all denominators can divide evenly.

Saumya spent 1/4 of her salary on food, 1/5 on education, and 1/10 on medicines. What part of her salary did she spend?
