Rahim and Raj went to Pizza Hut to celebrate Rahim's birthday. They ordered a big pizza. Rahim ate $ \frac{1}{5}$ th of the pizza and Raj ate $ \frac{1}{4}$ th of the remaining pizza. What portion of the pizza was left?


Given :

Out of a pizza Rahim ate $ \frac{1}{5}$ th of the pizza and Raj ate $ \frac{1}{4}$ th of the remaining pizza.

To find :

We have to find the portion left. 

Solution :

Let the total amount of pizza be 1.

Pizza eaten by Rahim $= \frac{1}{5}(1) = \frac{1}{5}$

Pizza left now $= 1- \frac{1}{5} = \frac{(5-1)}{5} =  \frac{4}{5}$

Raj ate$ \frac{1}{4}$ th of remaining pizza  $ =\frac{1}{4} (\frac{4}{5}) = \frac{1}{5}$

The portion of pizza left $= 1- \frac{1}{5}- \frac{1}{5} = 1- \frac{2}{5}= \frac{(5-2)}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.

The portion of pizza left is $ \frac{3}{5}$.
