Answer:

Amount of grapes eaten by Frank = 2/ 15 pounds

Explanations:

Amount of grapes bought by Frank on Monday = 4/5 pounds

Amount of grapes Frank has left on Tuesday = 2/3 pounds

Amount of grapes eaten by Frank = (Amount of grapes bought on Monday) - (Amount of grapes left on Tuesday)

Amount of grapes eaten by Frank = 4/5 - 2/3


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)-(2)/(3) \\ (12-10)/(15) \\ (2)/(15) \end{gathered}

Amount of grapes eaten by Frank = 2/ 15 pounds
