Question

Sam read 2/5 of her book over the weekend and 1/6 of it on Monday. What fraction of the book has she read? What fraction of the book is left?

Answer 1

She has read 13/30 of the book and 17/30 is left

Answer 2

2/5 + 1/6 = 12+5/30 = 17/30
30/30 is the whole book so, 30/30 - 17/30 = 13/30
Sam had to read 13/30 of the book.
