Question

Natasha watched 1/3 of a movie in the morning, and she watched some more at night. By the end of the day, she still had 2/5 of the movie left to watch. How much of the movie did Natasha watch at night?

Answer 1

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

Answer 2

Natasha watched 4/15 of the movie at night.

Explanation:

First find the Least Common Denominators.
1/3 becomes 5/15
2/5 become 6/15

(If you want to learn about Least Common Denominators, it’s very easy information to find online)

Then subtract 6 from the denominator.
15 - 6 = 9

So 9/15 is the amount of the movie she watched on that day. If she watched 5/15 in the morning: 9 - 5 = 4.

Natasha watched 4/15 of the movie at night.
