Question

Luke has 1/5 of a package of dried apricots. He divided the dried apricots equally into 3 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags to a friend and keeps the other two bags for himself, what fraction of the original package of dried apricots did Luke keep for himself? (answer in simplest form)

Answer 1

First step: 1/5 divided by 3 equals 1/15.
Therefore, Luke gives 1/15 to his friend.
Second step: 1/5 minus 1/15 equals to 2/15.
So, we can come to a conclusion that Luke kept 2/15 for himself.
