Problem
Mr mustard bought a bag of citrus tree fertilizer. He used 1/5 of the bag for his orange tree and 2/3 of the bag for his lemon tree. About how much of the fertilizer does he have left?
Solution
For this problem we know that the total bag represent 1 and since he used 1/5 for the orange tree and 2/3 for the lemon tree we can do the following operation to find the remaining space:
[tex]1-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]And after solve the operation we got:
[tex]\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{15}[/tex]And if we convert to decimals we got 2/15= 0.133
Then the best approximation for this case would be:
D. 0.1
