Question

Javed was given $\frac{5}{7}$ of a basket of oranges. What fraction of oranges was left in the basket.

Answer 1

Let the remaining fraction be $x$

ATQ,
$\frac{5}{7}+x=1$ (1 is whole)

$\Rightarrow x=1-\frac{5}{7}$

$=\frac{7-5}{7}$
$=\frac{2}{7}$
Hence, ${\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)}^{th}$ fraction of oranges left in the basket.
