A farmer uses 2/3 of his land for wheat and 0.125 for rice. How much of the land remains unused?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Wheat = 2/3, Rice = 0.125

0.125 = 1/8

Usage = 2/3 + 1/8

=16+324=1924= \frac{16 + 3}{24} = \frac{19}{24}

Unused =1−1924=524= 1 - \frac{19}{24} = \frac{5}{24}
