You bought a bag of tamales and one of your friends ate 1/5 of the entire bag and another friend ate 1/3 of the whole bag. How much of the bag is left?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There is 7/15 left in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you need to find a common denominator between 3 and 5 which is 15

multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 in 1/5. Then, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 in 1/3.

1/3*5=5/15

1/5*3=3/15

Add them together.

5/15+3/15=8/15

Lastly, subtract 15/15 by 8/15

15/15-8/15=7/15
