Question

Linda had 84 fliers to post around town. Last week, she posted 1/3 of them. This week, she posted 2/7 of the remaining fliers. How many fliers has she still not posted

Answers

  1. The remaining number of flires that Linda still not posted is 40.
    According to the given question.
    The total number of fliers Linda have = 84
    Fraction of fliers Linda posted = 1/3
    And, fraction of fliers Linda posted second time from the remaning fliers = 2/7
    Now,
    1/3 of 84 fliers = 1/3 × 84 = 28
    So, the number of fliers are left with Linda after first posting = 84 – 28 = 56
    Again she posted 2/7 fliers. The number of flires Linda posted second time is given by
    ⇒ 2/7 × 56 = 16
    Thereore,  the number of fliers that Lindna still not posted  = 56 – 16 = 40
    Hence, Linda still not posted 40 fliers.
