To find the fraction of Kieth's savings that is left, we need to subtract the portions he spent from his total savings.

First, let's assume that Kieth's total savings are represented by the whole amount, which is 1.

Kieth spends 1/6 of his savings on a magazine. So, we can find the portion he spent by multiplying 1/6 by 1:

1/6 * 1 = 1/6

Now let's find the remainder after purchasing the magazine. To do this, we need to subtract the portion spent from the whole amount:

1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6

The remainder after purchasing the magazine is 5/6.

Next, Kieth spends 2/5 of the remainder on a storybook. We can find the portion he spent by multiplying 5/6 by 2/5:

5/6 * 2/5 = 10/30 = 1/3

Now let's find the final remainder after purchasing the storybook. We subtract the portion spent on the storybook from the previous remainder:

5/6 - 1/3 = 5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

So, the fraction of Kieth's savings that is left is 1/2.

1-(1/6)-(2/5) = (5/6)-(2/5) = ((25-12)/30) = 13/30

6/6-1/6 = 5/6 = Remainder.

5/6-2/5 = 25/30-12/30 = 13/30 Left.
