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?
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.
1 - (2/5 + 1/3) = 15/15 -(6/15 + 5/15)=
15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15 Left.
To find out what fraction of the cattle is left, we need to calculate the fraction that was not sold and then subtract the fraction given to the remaining son.
First, let's calculate the fraction of cattle that was not sold. The farmer sold 2/5 of his cattle, which means he has 1 - 2/5 = 3/5 of his cattle remaining.
Now, let's calculate the fraction of cattle given to the remaining son. The farmer gave 1/3 of the remaining cattle to his son.
To find out what fraction of the cattle is left, we need to subtract the fraction given to the son from the fraction that remains.
Subtracting 1/3 from 3/5, we get:
3/5 - 1/3 = (3/5 * 3/3) - (1/3 * 5/5)
= 9/15 - 5/15
= (9 - 5)/15
= 4/15
Therefore, the fraction of cattle left is 4/15.
To find the fraction of cattle that is left, we need to go step by step.
Step 1: Find the fraction of cattle the farmer sold.
The farmer sold 2/5 of his cattle, so the fraction of cattle he sold is 2/5.
Step 2: Find the fraction of cattle the farmer had left after selling.
To find this, we need to subtract the fraction of cattle sold from 1 (since 1 represents the whole amount). So, 1 - 2/5 = (5/5) - (2/5) = 3/5.
Step 3: Find the fraction of cattle the farmer gave to his remaining son.
The farmer gave 1/3 of the remaining cattle to his son, which is equal to (1/3) * (3/5) = 3/15 = 1/5.
Step 4: Find the fraction of cattle left after giving some to his son.
To find this, subtract the fraction of cattle given to the son from the fraction of cattle remaining. So, 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5.
Therefore, 2/5 of the cattle is left.
