To find the fraction of the total amount that Abdul spent on fuel, we first need to calculate the total amount of money he spent. 
 
 Calculate the Total Amount: 
 Abdul spent 450 naira on lunch and 350 naira on fuel. So, we sum these amounts: 
 450 + 350 = 800 naira 
 
 Calculate the Fraction Spent on Fuel: 
 Abdul spent 350 naira on fuel. To find the fraction of the total amount spent on fuel, we divide the amount spent on fuel by the total amount spent: 
 Fraction spent on fuel = 800 350 ​ 
 
 Simplify the Fraction: 
 We can simplify 800 350 ​ . Both 350 and 800 are divisible by 50: 
 800 ÷ 50 350 ÷ 50 ​ = 16 7 ​ 
 Therefore, the fraction of the total amount that Abdul spent on fuel is 16 7 ​ .

In conclusion, Abdul spent 16 7 ​ of his total expenses on fuel.
