Franklin saved money to buy art supplies. He used 1/5 of his savings to buy brushes. He used 1/2 of his savings to buy paint. What fraction of his savings does he have remaining?
Answer:
Franklin had
of his saving left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount used to buy brushes = 1/5
Amount used to buy paint = 1/2
Solution:
Let the remaining amount be x
then ,
x = 1- (amount used on buying brushes + amount used for buying paints)
![x = 1- (\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{2})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%201-%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%29)
![x = 1- (\frac{2+5}{10})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%201-%20%28%5Cfrac%7B2%2B5%7D%7B10%7D%29)
![x = 1- (\frac{7}{10})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%201-%20%28%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B10%7D%29)
![x =\frac{10-7}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B10-7%7D%7B10%7D)
![x =\frac{3}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B10%7D)
