Answer 2

Answer:

Jimmy left $\frac{3}{8}$ of the book unread.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy read quarter on first day ,that is $\frac{1}{4}$.

he left first day $\frac{3}{4}$.

Next day he read half of the remaining $\frac{3}{4}$,

that is $(\frac{3}{4} )(\frac{1}{2} )=\frac{3}{8}$

hence all total he read $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8} =\frac{2}{8}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$  of the book.

so remaining $\frac{3}{8}$ of the book he left unread.
