I think you mean 2/5 and not 25 for Monday and 1/3 and not 13 on Tuesday. So i will solve with the fraction.

Answer: The fraction of the windows remaining for Kendra to wash=4/15

Explanation:

Step 1

The fraction of windows washed on Monday = 2/5

The fraction of windows washed on Tuesday= 1/3

Fraction remaining to be washed = Total windows - Fraction already washed

Step 255

Fraction already washed=2/5 + 1/3 =6+ 5/15 = 11/15

The total numbers of windows in the office will be represented as 1 whole number since we are dealing with fractions such that the

Fraction remaining to be washed = 1- Fraction already washed

= 1- 11/15 = 15/15-11/15= 4/15
