Question

Linda had 84 fliers to post around town. Last week, she posted 1/3 of them. This week, she posted 2/7 of the remaining fliers. How many fliers has she still not posted

Answer 1

The remaining number of flires that Linda still not posted is 40.

According to the given question.

The total number of fliers Linda have = 84

Fraction of fliers Linda posted = 1/3

And, fraction of fliers Linda posted second time from the remaning fliers = 2/7

Now,

1/3 of 84 fliers = 1/3 × 84 = 28

So, the number of fliers are left with Linda after first posting = 84 - 28 = 56

Again she posted 2/7 fliers. The number of flires Linda posted second time is given by

⇒ 2/7 × 56 = 16

Thereore,  the number of fliers that Lindna still not posted  = 56 - 16 = 40

Hence, Linda still not posted 40 fliers.
