Answer: [tex]\dfrac{7}{30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Anita took 1/6 of a cake and Barry took 60% of what remained.

In fraction , The part taken by Barry = 60%=[tex]\dfrac{60}{100}=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Also, in fraction we take "1" as the whole part.

Then , the fraction of original cake is left is given by :-

[tex]1-\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{30-5-3\times6}{30}\\\\=\dfrac{25-18}{30}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{30}[/tex]

Hence, the fraction of original cake is left. =[tex]\dfrac{7}{30}[/tex]
