A man spent 2/5 of his salary on food and 1/4 on transport. What fraction of the salary was left
Answered by Ms Pi 3.14159265358979323
The Common denominator would be 5x4=20
So making each an equivalent fraction gives 2/5=8/20 and you do the 1/4=
Then you have the entire salary of 20/20 and you take away both equivalent fractions : )
20/20 - 8/20 - ....
= salary left : )

Let the overall money he had be 1 hence we dealing with fractions. Therefore 1- 2/5-1/4 is 7/20. Hence the money left of his salary in fraction is 7/20
