Johan buys three flats of flowers he plants 2/5 of the flowers and then divides the remaining flowers amongst five friends. What fraction of the flat of flowers does each of Johahn's friends get?

We have to calculate the remaining, or the supplanted flower fraction.
Remaining =1-2/5=(5-2)/5=3/5.

Now, we calculate the fraction of the flat of flowers get by each friend.

Fraction get by each friend=remaining/number of friends
Fraction get by each friend=(3/5)/5=3/25

Answer: 3/25 flat of flowers are got by each friend

Answer:

Each friend will get \(\frac{9}{25}\) of the flat of flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Johan buys 3 flats of flowers.

He plants \(\frac{2}{5}\)th of the flowers, then the remaining flowers = 3 - \(\frac{2}{5}\times 3\)

= \(\frac{9}{5}\)

Now he divides the remaining flowers among 5 friends.

So each friend gets the fraction of flowers = \(\frac{\text{Remaining flowers}}{\text{Number of friends}}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{9}{5} }{5}\)

= \(\frac{9}{25}\)

Therefore, each of Johan's friend will get \(\frac{9}{25}\) of the flat of flowers.
