Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{19}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Fraction of goal raised on first day = $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Fraction of goal raised after second day  = $\dfrac35$

Now , Fraction of goal raised on second day = Fraction of goal raised after second day  - Fraction of goal raised on first day

$=\dfrac35-\dfrac18\\\\=\dfrac{24-5}{40}\\\\=\dfrac{19}{40}$

Required fraction = $\dfrac{19}{40}$
