The amount of the salmon left after Mr Jones used some part is

  • 5 and 1/35 lb

How to find the amount left

Total amount of salmon  bought is 6 and 2/7 lb = 6 2/7 lb

The amount used is 1/5 of the amount Mr Jones bought

= 1/5 * 6 2/7

= 44 / 35

= 1 9/35

= 1.257

The amount left is calculated by subtraction

= 6 2/7 - 1 9/35

= 176 / 35

= 5 1/35
