Question

Can anyone answer this pls​

Answer 1

5/9 is remaining

Explanation:

Start with 5/6 full. The farmer sells 1/3 of this amount, or:

(5/6)*(1/3) = (5/18) is sold.

This is deducted from the (5/6) full that the problem started with.

(5/6) - (5/18) =

Find a common denominator. Lets use 18:

(3/3)*(5/6) - (5/18) =

15/18 - 5/18 = 10/18 or 5/9 is remaining
