Total number of farms jacoby family have is one.

Paige cleaned 3/10

Josh cleaned 3/10

kurt cleaned 2/10

The sum of all the cleaned fraction is equal to one

Let x is the amount of the stall left for cleaning


(3)/(10)+(3)/(10)+(2)/(10)+x=1

Take the LCM of the fraction


(3+3+2+10x)/(10)=1
\begin{gathered} (8+10x)/(10)=1 \\ 8+10x=10 \\ 10x=2 \\ x=(2)/(10) \end{gathered}
(2)/(10)\text{ fraction is still require to cleaned}

ANSWER: 2/10
