Carrie

Carrie picked 2/5 of the raspberries from the garden, and Robin picked some too.  When they were finished, 1/3 of the raspberries still needed to be picked.  What fraction of the raspberries did Robin pick? Use pictures, numbers or words and write your final as fraction.

Correct answer:

x =  0.2667

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} 1-{\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}-x={\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}} \\ x=1-{\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}-{\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{4}{15}}=0.2667 \end{gathered}$$
