Of all the homes on Gotham Street, 1/3 are termite-ridden, and 3/5 of these are collapsing. What fraction of the homes are termite-ridden, but NOT collapsing?
Let total homes be H
Termite-ridden = 1/3 (H)
Termite-ridden and collapsing = 3/5(1/3(H)) = 1/5(H)
Termite-ridden and NOT collapsing = 1 - 1/5(H) = 4/5(H). Would this be the answer? Evidently, I am wrong somewhere. Please help!
