Three teachers shared a packet of chalk. The first teacher got 2/5 of the chalk and the second teacher received 2/15 of the remainder. What fraction did the third teacher receive?
First teacher received \(\frac{2}{5}\) ∴Remainder \(= 1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}\)
2nd teacher received; \(\frac{2}{15} of \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{25}\)
3rd teacher will receive; \(1-\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{25}=\frac{25-10-2}{15}\\=\frac{13}{25}\)
