Farmer Dave harvested his corn. He stored 5/9 of his corn in one large silo and 3/4 of the remaining corn in a small silo. The rest was taken to market to be sold. What fraction of the corn was stored in the small silo

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount stored in small silo are [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that He stored [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] of his corn in one large silo and [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of remaining in small silo.

Since [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] is removed, remaing is [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] ( 1- [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex])

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of remaining means,

= ([tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex])([tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex])

= [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus total is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

taken to market is (1 - [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]) = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
