From the question it is given that, 4/5 of 5 kg apples were used on Monday = (4/5) × 5 = 20/5 = 4 kg Then, The next day 1/3 of what was left was used = (1/3) × 1 = 1/3 kg So, Weight (in kg) of apples left now is = 1 – (1/3) = (3 – 1)/3 = 2/3 kg of apples

Answer 2

From the question it is given that,

4/5 of 5 kg apples were used on Monday

= (4/5) × 5

= 20/5 = 4 kg Then,

The next day 1/3 of what was left was used

= (1/3) × 1 = 1/3 kg

So, Weight (in kg) of apples left now is

= 1 – (1/3) = (3 – 1)/3 = 2/3 kg of apples
