Respuesta :

1 - (1/5 + 2/9) = …

1/5 → 9/45
2/9 → 10/45

45/45 - (9/45 + 10/45)
= 45/45 - 19/45
= 26/45


26/45 of the log is left.

For this case, the full length of the log is equal to 1.

Therefore, the remaining length, we can obtain it by means of the following expression:

[tex] 1 - (\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{9})
[/tex]

Rewriting we have:

[tex] 1 - \frac{19}{45}
[/tex]

Then, subtracting both numbers we have:

[tex] \frac{26}{45} [/tex]

Answer:

The remaining amount of log is given by:

[tex] \frac{26}{45} [/tex]
