The answer is 5/8
2 racks of 40 each = 2 x 40 = 80 tapes in all
30 in use
⇒ 80 - 30 = 50 not used (assume left on rack)
⇒ 50/80 = 5/8 left on rack.
In a work-out facility, there are two racks with 40 towels per rack. On Tuesday, there were 30 towels in use, on Wednesday 50, and on Thursday 25. What fraction, on the average, is in use for the 3 days?
This ought to be a separate question, but anyway:
2 racks of 40 each = 2 x 40 = 80 towels
Mean average towel usage = (30 + 50 + 25) ÷ 3 = 35
⇒ 35/80 = 7/16 on average daily use.
