Tameka built 1/2 of a shed on Monday and 2/5 of the shed on Tuesday. Tameka finished building the shed on Wednesday. What fraction of the shed did she build on Wednesday? help please

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The part of shed built on Monday = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The part built on Tuesday = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex],

Let x be the part built on Wednesday,

If the shed is finished on Wednesday,

Total part of work = 1

[tex]\implies \frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}+x=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5+4}{10}+x=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{10}+x=1[/tex]

[tex]x=1-\frac{9}{10}=\frac{10-9}{10}=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Hence, she built [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] shed on Wednesday.
