Question

three man worked together to complete a project. their manager concluded that the first man did 3/5 of the project and the project and the second man did 1/3 of the project. what part of the project did the third man do?

Answer 1

The third person did 1/15 of the project.

Step-by-step explanation:

First man did = 3/5 of the project

Second man did = 1/3 of the project

Let,

y be the part done by third person.

Therefore,

$\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{3}+y=1$

Solving for y;

$y=1-\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{3}$

Taking L.C.M;

$y=\frac{15-9-5}{15}\\y=\frac{1}{15}$

The third person did 1/15 of the project.
