Question

Mr. McGee mowed 4/5 of his lawn. His three sons finished the mowing. Each son mowed the same amount. How much of the lawn did each son mow?

Answer 1

1 fifteenth, or 1/15

Explanation:

If there are 3 sons multiply the fraction by 3 and then you have 12/15 because 12/15 is equal to 4/5, so the remaining is 3 out of 15, so divide that between the 3 sons and boom, 1/15th per son.
