Could anyone help me solve this problem?
Ricardo had red grapes and green grapes for sale. 3/5 of the grapes were red ; the rest were green. If he sold all the red grapes and none of the green grapes what fractional part of his grapes did he sell?
I dont know why but I am very confused about the question.
My original answer was 2/5 but i dont know anymore i am confused :P

Yes, you got half of it, 2/5 is the amount of green grapes, so let's say Ricardo has 5 grapes in total 3 are red and 2 are green. He sells all the red grapes but no one bought the green ones, how many grapes did he sell? He sold 3 grapes. The the answer is 3/5.

3/5 of his grapes are red. He sells all his red grapes. Thus he sells 3/5 of his grapes...

Have I misinterpreted the question?
