Question

Joanie watched 1 3 of a movie in the morning, and she watched some more at night. By the end of the day, she still had 2 5 of the movie left to watch. How much of the movie did Joanie watch at night?

Answer 1

Answer:Joanie watched 4/15 of the movie at night

Explanation:

Let total amount of movie to watch = 1 whole since we are dealing with fractions

Amount of movie watched in the morning = 1/3

Amount watched at night = x

Amount remaining= 2/5

so that Total amount of movie to watch - Amount watched in morning and night = Amount remaining to watch

1 - ( 1/3 + x ) = 2/5

1- 2/5 = 1/3 + x

3/5 =1/3 + x

3/5 - 1/3 = x

9- 5/15 = x

x= Amount watched at night = 4/15
