Question

3/10 of the length of a pole in mud and 3/5 of the length is underwater. If the rest of the pole is above water. find what fraction of the length of pole is above water.

Answer 1

Don't post maths questions in the english department

Answer 2

Let the length of pole above water is x.

3/10 + 3/5 + x = 1

9/10 + x = 1

x = 1 - 9/10

x = 1/10

length of pole above water is 1/10


Thanks
