CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Together: 125+120=4+5100=9100\frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4+5}{100} = \frac{9}{100} per day.

  2. In 5 days: 45100=920\frac{45}{100} = \frac{9}{20} done.

  3. Left: 1−920=11201 - \frac{9}{20} = \frac{11}{20}.

Worth noting

920\frac{9}{20} is the part finished; the question asks what is left.
