Show me the solution of the problem: mr. Smith is on a trip. on the first day he travelled 2/5 of the trip, and the second day he travelled 1/3. What fraction of the trip is still remaining?

Sagot :

1st day: 5/5 (entire route) - 2/5 (travelled on the first day)= 3/5 (remaining route) 
2nd day: 3/5 - 1/3 (route travelled for the 2nd day)= 9/15 - 5/15= 4/15. 
Final Answer: 4/15 of the trip has not been travelled yet. 

P.S.: Use block models to help you solve fractions. 

a trip is 1 whole so 1 - 2/5 - 1/3 = (15 - 6 - 5)/15 = 4/15
