Question

The grocery store received a delivery of 60 boxes. 1/3 of the boxes contained fruit. 2/5 of the boxes contained meat. How many boxes contained vegetables?​

Answer 1

There are 16 boxes of vegetables

Explanation:

The boxes that contained fruit

1/3 * 60 = 20

The boxes that contained meat

2/5 * 60 = 24

Assuming that we only have fruit, meat, and vegetables

60-20-24 = 16

There are 16 boxes of vegetables
