You can put this solution on YOUR website! Eduardo owned 6/7 of a family business. He sold 1/5 of the business to his son. What portion of the business does he still own?
--------------------------------------
(1/5)(6/7) = 6/35 (this is the amount he sold)
-----------------------
6/7 - 6/35 =
30/35 - 6/35 = 24/35 (this is the amount Eduardo still owns)
