Answer: 4/15 of the movie
Step-by-step explanation:
In the morning, Charlie watched ¹/₃ of a movie. He then watched some more at night.
At the end of the day, he still had ²/₅ of the movie to watch.
The proportions of an item must always add up to one. This means that if you added the 1/3 to the 2/5 and then to the fraction Charlie watch at night, they should add up to one.
¹/₃ + ²/₅ + x = 1
x = 1 - ¹/₃ - ²/₅
