Question

A painting crew reported that a job is 3/5 completed. What fraction of the job remains to be done?

Answer 1

2/5

Explanation:

5/5 = full job

3/5 = done

full job - done = remaining

5/5 job - 3/5 job

= 2/5 (remaining)

Answer 2

`(2)/(5)` is left to complete.

Explanation:

To find out how much needs to be done, subtract the amount they got done by a whole fraction.

`(5)/(5)` -
`(3)/(5)` =
`(2)/(5)`
