John saved £600. He spent 1/3 of his money on a bike and 2/5 of this money on clothes.
What fraction of this money has he got left?
15/15 - (5/15 + 6/15) = ?
To find out what fraction of the money John has left, we need to subtract the amounts he spent from the total amount he saved.
First, let's find out how much money John spent on the bike. We know he spent 1/3 of his money, so we need to calculate 1/3 of £600. To do this, we can multiply £600 by 1/3:
£600 x 1/3 = £200.
Next, let's find out how much money John spent on clothes. We know he spent 2/5 of his money, so we need to calculate 2/5 of £600. To do this, we can multiply £600 by 2/5:
£600 x 2/5 = £240.
Now let's subtract the total amount John spent from the total amount he saved:
£600 - (£200 + £240) = £600 - £440 = £160.
So, John has £160 left. To express this as a fraction of the total amount he saved (£600), we can write it as:
£160/£600.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 80:
£160/£600 = (80 x 2)/(80 x 7.5) = (2/7.5).
Therefore, the fraction of money John has left is 2/7.5.
