    Step-by-step explanation:

    Linda has 42 and posts 2/3 the first day

    2/3 of 42 is 28

    this week she has 14 left and hands out 5/7 of them

    5/7 of 14 is 10

    In total Linda has posted 38 fliers which means there are 4 left

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Last week she posted 2/3 of the 42 fliers. This means she posted (2/3) * 42 fliers.

    (2/3) * 42

    84/3

    28

    So she posted 28 last week.

    So of the 42, 42-28=14 remain

    This week she posted 5/7 of the remaining fliers.

    So she posted 5/7 of the 14 that remainder. This means she posted (5/7) * 14 fliers.

    (5/7) * 14

    70/7

    10

    So she posted 10 this week.

    So of the 42, 42-28-10=4 remain.

    She hasn't posted 4 fliers.
