Un depósito se llena de agua a diario para dar de beber a los animales de una granja. Según requerimiento se sacaron 3/8 del agua del depósito para darles a los caballos y 1/3 de lo que quedó en el depósito se les dio a los cerdos. El restante del depósito se repartió en dos cantidades iguales para darle de beber a las aves y a los animales domésticos. ¿Cuál es la fracción del agua que reciben los animales domésticos para beber?

A tank is filled with water daily to give water to the animals on a farm. As required, 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses and 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs. The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets. What is the fraction of the water that pets receive to drink?

1) 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses

At this point in the tank there are 1-3/8=5/8 of the water of the tank

2) 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs

At this point in the tank there are

(1-1/3)*5/8

(2/3)(5/8)=10/24 of the water of the tank

3) The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets

The remainder is equal to 10/24

divided by 2

(10/24)/2=10/48

4) The fraction of the water that pets receive to drink is 10/48

simplify

10/48=5/24
