Answer:

Explanation:

The number of fliers that he has not posted is 9

What is proportion?

Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two elements or numbers.

From the information given, we have that;

• Total number of fliers is 45

• First week, 1/3 of the floors were posted

• This week, 3/5 of the remaining were posted.

To determine the number of fliers remaining, we have that;

Remaining fliers for the First week

= 45 × 1/3

Multiply and find the quotient

= 15 fliers

Fliers remaining after the last week

= 15 × 3/5

Multiply and find the quotient

= 45/5

= 9 fliers

Thus, the number of fliers the he has not posted is 9
