    1/4 (A)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the term paper = x

    Richard typed 1/4 of a term paper on Friday = 1/4 * x = x/4

    Remainder = x - x/4 = (4x-x) / 4

    = 3x/4

    Richard completed 2/3 of the remainder on Saturday = 2/3 of remainder

    = 2/3 * 3x/4

    = 6x/12 = x/2

    Remainder to be completed on Sunday = 3x/4 - x/2

    = (3x-2x) / 4 = x/4

    Since he wanted to finish the paper that weekend, the part that was left to be typed on Sunday = x/4

    = x * 1/4 (A)
