Question 1118417
 A boy spent 17/35 of his money on transport and food. If he spends 2/7 on transport only,what fraction does he spend on food
<pre>You don't need a bunch of equations for something this simple. It's not ROCKET SCIENCE. It's just the entire fraction spent on transportation and food,
less fraction spent on transportation that'll give you the fraction spent on food. That's all!!
As pointed out by IKLEYN, it takes just ONE-LINE to get an answer, which is: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,8, 17/35 - 2/7, ",", or, 17/35 - 10/35, "=", 7/35, or, 1/5))}}}
That's it! Why do these people (THEO, in particular) make everything so DIFFICULT and COMPLEX when they don't have to be?
I guess they just don't know any better.
