Three candidates were running for office. One of them got half of the vote. Another got two fifths of the vote. What fraction did the third candidate get?
1 / 2 = 5 / 10
2 / 5 = 4 / 10 add those two fractions
9 / 10 is the total of the first two candidates
So the third candidate got the other 1 / 10 of the votes
