Answer:
4/15
Explanation:
To answer this question, we're gonna want to convert the fractions so that they have the same denominator (the number on the bottom of the fraction) and it's easy for us to visualize what's going on. AKA, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD).
We're going to multiply 2/5 and 1/3 by a number so they have the same denominator. In this case, that would mean multiplying them by the other fractions denominator. So multiplying 2/5 by 3 and 1/3 by 5.
2/5x3= 6/15. 1/3x5=5/15.
Now we're viewing the book in 15ths instead of both 5ths and 3rds.
6+5=11, so we know that 11/15 of the book has been read.
15/15-11/15=4/15
4/15 of the book is left to read.
Hope this explanation helped!
