According to a company survey, 1/3 of the workers take public transportation to get to work, 2/5 drive cars to work, and the remainder walk to work. What fraction of the workers walk to work?
Let # of workers be "x"
# who walk = x - (x/3) - (2x/5)
-----
# = [(2/3)-(2/5)]x
-----
# = (10-6)/15 x
------
Answer:: # = 4/15 x
