Raine is grass cutting a rectangular field which has a length of 40 meters and a width of 30 meters. She left an uncut area with the
dimensions: length 20 m and width 15 m. How much is the fractional part of the lawn that remains uncut?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

As I understand the problem, it asks to find the ratio of the uncut area to the total area.


The total area is  40*30 = 1200 m^2.


The uncat area is  20*15 = 300 m^2.


The fractional part under the problem question is   =  = .    ANSWER

Solved.
