what is 5/6*2/5?
Do not know
1/3. do you ppl even do math?????? #dubs.
To find the fraction of Jenny's total paycheck that is saved, we need to first calculate the remaining amount after she spends 1/6 of her paycheck.
To calculate the remaining amount, we subtract 1/6 from 1 (since she spends 1/6), and then we multiply the result by her paycheck. This gives us:
Remaining Amount = (1 - 1/6) * paycheck
Next, we need to calculate the fraction that Jenny saves from the remaining amount. She saves 2/5 of the remaining amount, so we multiply the remaining amount by 2/5:
Amount Saved = (2/5) * Remaining Amount
Finally, to find the fraction of her total paycheck that is saved, we divide the amount saved by her paycheck:
Fraction Saved = Amount Saved / paycheck
Let's plug in some sample numbers to demonstrate the calculation.
Say Jenny's paycheck is $600:
Remaining Amount = (1 - 1/6) * $600 = (5/6) * $600 = $500
Amount Saved = (2/5) * $500 = $200
Fraction Saved = $200 / $600 = 1/3
Therefore, Jenny saves 1/3 of her total paycheck.
