Answer:
1 / 2 of her money would be left
Explanation:
Tammy spent 2/5 of her savings on a watch. She then spent 1/6 of the remainder on a bag. What fraction of her money did she have left?
Taking the question bits by bit;
Tammy spent 2/5 of her savings on a watch
Amount Spent = 2/5
Remainder = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
She then spent 1/6 of the remainder on a bag
Amount Spent = 1/6 * 3/5 = 1/2 * 1/5 = 1 /10
Total amount spent = 2/5 + 1 /10 = (4 + 1 ) / 10 = 5 / 10 = 1 / 2
Amount left = 1 - 1 /2 = 1 / 2
