To find out how much money you spent on food, let's break it down step by step. 1. You start with your total money, let's call it \( M \). 2. You spend \( \frac{7}{11}M \) on clothes. 3. The remainder after buying clothes is: \[ M - \frac{7}{11}M = \frac{4}{11}M \] 4. Next, you spend \( \frac{1}{2} \) of this remainder on food: \[ \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{11}M = \frac{4}{22}M = \frac{2}{11}M \] So, the fraction of your total money \( M \) that you spent on food is \( \frac{2}{11} \). Thus, the final answer is \( \boxed{\frac{2}{11}} \).
