Thomas buys 6 souvenirs for his friends and family. each gift takes up 1/15 of his suitcase. if he has two suitcases, how much room is left for his own belongings in his suitcases?

Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of souvenirs bought by Thomas = 6

Space that each souvenir takes of Thomas suitcase = 1/15

Number of Thomas suitcases = 2

2.  How much room is left for his own belongings in his suitcases?

Let's find out how much space the souvenirs take:

Number of souvenirs * Space that each souvenir takes

6 * 1/15 = 6/15 = 2/5 (Dividing by 3 the numerator and the denominator)

The souvenirs take 2/5 of one suitcase.

Now, we can calculate the room that is left for Thomas' belongings.

2 Suitcases - 2/5 for the souvenirs

2 - 2/5 = 10/5 - 2/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5

Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.
