On first day, a carpenter competed 3/8 of a work and on a second day, he completed additional 1/4 work. What fraction of the work is left undone?

Explanation

To find the fraction of work left undone, calculate the total work completed:

Day 1: 3/8

Day 2: 1/4 = 2/8 (common denominator)

Total work completed = 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8

Work left undone = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8
