Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/5 = full job

3/5  = done

full job - done =  remaining

5/5 job - 3/5 job

= 2/5 (remaining)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$ is left to complete.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{5}{5}$ - $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$
