Question

Ahmed covered 3/5 of his journey by cycle, 1/3 by train and rest by car. what fraction of his journey was covered by car

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the whole journey be 1

journey covered by cycle and car

= 3/5+1/3

=14/15

remaining journey= car

=1- 14/15= 1/15

Answer 2

Answer:

Total distance he covered by car is $\frac{1}{15}$

Explanation:

Given , Ahmed covered  $\frac{3}{5}$ of his journey by car and

covered $\frac{1}{3}$ of his journey by train and the  he covered rest of the journey by car .

So , let total journey he covered be x .

Therefore , we have

Total distance  he covered by cycle = $\frac{3x}{5}$ and

total distance he covered by train = $\frac{x}{3}$

Now, the distance covered by car

= total distance - (distance covered by cycle + distance covered by train)

⇒ distance covered by car = $x - (\frac{3x}{5} + \frac{1}{3} )$ = $\frac{15x -9x -5x}{15}$  = $\frac{x}{15}$ .

Hence , he covered $\frac{1}{15}$ of his journey by car .
