Answer:
Fraction of profit from other departments = 17/28
Step-by-step explanation:
Total profit of R. White and Co = 6/7 million dollars
Profit from the spinning department = 1/4 of million dollars
Fraction of profit from other departments = Total profit of R. White and Co - Profit from the spinning department
= 6/7 million dollars - 1/4 of million dollars
= 6/7 - 1/4
Lowest common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 4 is 28
= (24-7) / 28
= 17/28
Fraction of profit from other departments = 17/28
