Howie works at a petting zoo. He fed a piglet 1/5 of a bottle of milk then gave 3/4 of what was left to the calf. How much of the bottle of milk did the calf drink

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]th part of the bottle will be drunk by the calf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the bottle fed by the piglet = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Milk left in the bottle = 1 - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{5-1}{5}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Milk drunk by the calf = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]th of the left part

                                     = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]th part of the bottle

Therefore, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]th part of the bottle will be drunk by the calf.
