To find the fraction of the rows that were neither yellow nor black, we first need to determine the total fraction that was either yellow or black. Given that \( \frac{4}{15} \) of the rows were yellow and \( \frac{1}{3} \) were black, let's convert \( \frac{1}{3} \) into a fraction with a denominator of 15 for easy addition: \[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{15} \] Now, we can add the fractions together: \[ \frac{4}{15} + \frac{5}{15} = \frac{9}{15} \] To find the fraction that was neither yellow nor black, we subtract the total fraction of yellow and black from 1 (considering 1 as the whole): \[ 1 - \frac{9}{15} = \frac{15}{15} - \frac{9}{15} = \frac{6}{15} \] This fraction can be simplified to: \[ \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5} \] Therefore, the fraction of the rows woven on Wednesday that were neither yellow nor black is \( \frac{2}{5} \).
