Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

5/5 = full job

3/5 = done

full job - done = remaining

5/5 job - 3/5 job

= 2/5 (remaining)

Answer:


(2)/(5) is left to complete.

Explanation:

To find out how much needs to be done, subtract the amount they got done by a whole fraction.


(5)/(5) -
(3)/(5) =
(2)/(5)

Feel free to let me know if you need more help. :)
