Question

Paul had 60 fliers to post around town. last week 2/3 he posted ; of them. this week, he posted 4/5 of the remaining fliers. how many fliers has he still not posted?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

60/3 = 20 (1/3)

2/3 = 40 so 20 remaining

20/5 = 4(1/5)

4/5 = 16

leaves 4 not posted

Answer 2

4 fliers left

Explanation:

60 * (2/3) = 40 fliers posted last week

60 - 40 = 20 fliers left last week

20 * (4/5) = 16 fliers posted this week

40+16 = 56 fliers posted for 2 weeks

60 - 56 = 4 fliers left after 2 weeks
