On first day, a carpenter competed 3/8 of a work and on a second day, he completed additional 1/4 work. What fraction of the work is left undone?
Answer: 3/8
Explanation
To find the fraction of work left undone, calculate the total work completed:
Day 1: 3/8
Day 2: 1/4 = 2/8 (common denominator)
Total work completed = 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
Work left undone = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8
