Farmer dave harvested his corn. he stored 5/9 of his corn in one large silo and 3/4 of the remaining corn in a small silo. the rest was taken to market to be sold.
a. what fraction of the corn was stored in the small silo?
b. if he harvested 18 tons of corn, how many tons did he take to market?

a. 1/3

b. 2 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total corn store be unity

now corn left after storing in large silo = 1-5/9= 4/9

now 3/4 of the remaining is stored in small silo = 3/4 of 4/9= 3/4×4/9= 1/3

therefore 1/3 of total corn was store in small silo

b. corn left for market = 4/9 -1/3 = = 1/9

so, the 18 tons its 1/9 was marketed which means = 18/9 = 2 tons

the answer i believe is 27 units.
