Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given: Fraction of goal raised on first day =
`(1)/(8)`

Fraction of goal raised after second day =
`\frac35`

Now , Fraction of goal raised on second day = Fraction of goal raised after second day - Fraction of goal raised on first day

`=\frac35-\frac18\\\\=(24-5)/(40)\\\\=(19)/(40)`

Required fraction =
`(19)/(40)`
