A packet of biscuit has a mass of 1/3 kg. Jason eats 2/5 of the packet. What is the mass of biscuit left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that doesnt make sense how can jason eat more than he has???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/5 is a fraction...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree...thats the question the teacher posed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple 1/3kg multiplied by what is left (1-2/5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/5*1/3= 1/5 kg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the figure I got is -1/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nop, hero is right on that, eating 2/5 of the pocket means he ate the 40%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rahen, not hero....*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1/5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 1/5 kg
