Answer 1

The pie that has not been eaten is $\frac{19}{25}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On tuesday jasmine eats$\frac{2}{5}$ of a whole apple pie, on thursday she eats$\frac{2}{5}$ of what is left.

To find:

How much of the pie has not been eaten?

Solution:

The pie which has eaten by jasmine on Tuesday = $\frac{2}{5}$

Remaining pie = $1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$

On Thursday she eats $\frac{2}{5}$ of remaining = $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{25}$

The pie left after Thursday = $1 - \frac{6}{25} = \frac{19}{25}$

Answer 2

Answer is 9/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the whole pie be 1 and required not eaten part be x.

1st first eaten = 2/5

Left part = 1-(2/5) = 3/5

2nd part eaten = (2/5)*(3/5) = 6/25

Therefore,

(2/5) + (6/25) + x = 1

=> (16/25) + x = 1

=> x = 9/25
