Answer:

There are 16 left to be sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of 60.

To find one-third do 60÷3

60÷3=20

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of 60 would be 40, So 40 were sold last month.

60-40=20 so that leaves us with 20 houses.

Now [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the 20 houses were sold this month, to find this do 20÷5

20÷5=4

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of  20 is 4

now to find the remaining amount of houses to be sold do 20-4

20-4=16

So we have 16 houses left to be sold
