B 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6, left is 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/3
C 1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12, left is 3/4 * 1/3 = 1/4
D 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20, left is 4/5 * 1/4 = 1/5
I get 1/5
Check
used = 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12 +1/20 = 9/12 + 1/20 = (45 +3)/60 = 48/60 = 4/5
yes1/5 left to fail
im confused because the answer sheet says 1/10
Well, Well we disagree with the answer sheet. It happens :)
That is why I went back up in reverse to check :)
