We have
(a) The total fraction of shirts that Diana sold on Monday and Tuesday is given by
Fmt = 1/5 +3/12
= 12+15 /60
=27/60
(b) The difference in the fraction of the total number of green shirts that were sold on Tuesday and Wednesday is given by
Ftw =3/12 -2/15
=15-8 /60
= 7/60
Thus, the required answers are
27/60
and
7/60
