Question

Matt uses 1/5 of a box of flour for cooking and 3/4 of the remainder to make bread.  The rest of the flour was packed equally into 5 containers .  What fraction of the total amount of flour was in each container?

Answer 1

After he has used ⅕ of the flour, ⅘ remains and ¾ of this is ⅗.

He divides this into 5 containers, so each container holds 3/25 of the original amount of flour.
