Thanks. But can explain further. Why blueberry left is 5/7-14/35 and last equation of 11/35 divide by 5/7? Dun understand, sorry too weak in fraction. Btw, teacher answer is 4/15. Is his answer wrong?

Your teacher answer is correct, 4/15

I thought blueberry left was 2/5 of tarts he had at 1st.

To answer your queries, why last equation need to ÷ 5/7.

Questions asked for fraction of blueberry tarts was left

Fraction = blueberry left / blueberry at 1st
Therefore,
= blueberry left ÷ blueberry at 1st
= 4/21 ÷ 5/7
= 4/21 × 7/5
= 4/15

Hope this clarify your doubts.
If you have any parts need more explanation, let me know... Cheers.

Another tutor also misunderstood the question on 2/5 the number of tarts he had.

The question should write clearly.. like..
2/5 the number of tarts he had left. :)

AC Lim is correct. :) Now the teacher's answer of 4/15 makes sense.
