Question

Farmer Josh has some positive number of llamas. He gives exactly one-half of his llamas to his daughter, and then gives exactly two-thirds of his remaining llamas to his son. Finally, he gives exactly three-fifths of his remaining llamas to his neighbor Country Joe. What is the smallest number of llamas Farmer Josh could have started with?

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 = he has 5 at the end.

gave 2/3 to son which means 15 out of 10 to son.

gave half to daughter which is 15/30, so he ends up with 2 and the least amount he can start with is 30.
