Jerry walked for 2/5 hours to the train station and the whole way took him 3 4/5 hours, then he had to go by bus


3(4)/(5) -(2)/(5) hours.

First consider fractions
(4)/(5) and
(2)/(5). Subtracting from first fraction second fraction you have:


(4)/(5) -(2)/(5)=(4-2)/(5) =(2)/(5).

Then add to the whole number this fraction and get


3+(2)/(5) =3(2)/(5) hours.

Answer: Jerry spent riding on the bus
3(2)/(5) hours.
