Answer:

4/5 of the cattle is left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A farmer sells 2/5 of his cattle

Let "x" be the total number of cattle

Then,

sold = 2 / 5 x

Then,

Remaining = x - 2x / 5

remaining = 3x / 5

He gives 1/3 of the remainder to his son

son = 1 / 3 × 3x / 5

son = x / 5

Then,

Remaining = 3x / 5 - x / 5

Remaining = 4x / 5

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day
