Answer:amount read at night =4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Since we are dealing with fractions,

Let Total amount of book contained  to read = 1 whole

Therefore

Amount read  in the morning +  amount read at night +amount remaining = Total amount of book contained  to read which gves us the equation

1/3 + x + 2/5 = 1

Step 2 --- solving

1/3 + x + 2/5 = 1

1/3 + 2/5 + x= 1

5 + 6 / 15  + x = 1

11/15 + x= 1

x= 1 - 11/15

15/15 - 11/15

x =  amount read at night =4/15
