Leah read 1/2 of a book in the morning, and she read some at night. By the end of the day, she still had 2/5 of The book to read left. How much of the book did Leah read at night?

Answer:

1/10

Explanation:

First, you have to get common denominators, so we will use 10. She read 5/10 in the morning, so that is 5/10 of the book left. 2/5 = 4/10 left, so if you added those two numbers up, you only get 9/10. So this means that she read 1/10 at night. I hope this helps!
