  1. 8 over 15
  2. 2 over 5
  3. 2 over 3
  4. 7 over 15

hintHint:

simply we have to substract from total distance to distance covered by man.

The correct answer is: 2 over 5


    simply we have to substract from total distance to distance covered by his.
    13 over 15 minus 7 over 15 equals 6 over 15
    Answer can be simplified further by using a common divisor 3.
    6 over 15 divided by 3 over 3 equals 2 over 5
