a farmer sells 2/5of his cattle,he gave 1/3 of the cattle to his remaining son.what fraction of the cattle is left?

Answer 1

5/5-2/5 = 3/5

1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5

0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.6

So 1/3 would be equal to 0.2 which means that after the farmer gave away 1/3 of his cattle he would have 40% left or 2/5.

Answer 2

1 - (2/5 + 1/3) = 15/15 -(6/15 + 5/15)=
15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15 Left.
