Let's break this problem into a few steps:

  • First, Meade gave 1/2 of candy to Max

            ⇒ Amount of Candybar: Candy - (1/2)Candy = (1/2)Candy

  • Second, Meade ate 2/5 of the candy

           ⇒ Amount of Candy left:  

                    Total amount of candy - (1/6) * Total amount of candy

                                                 = (1/2) Candy - (1/6) *(1/2)Candy

                                                 = (1 - 1/6) * (6/7) Candy

                                                 = 5/6 * 1/2 = 5/12 Candy

Thus there is 5/12 of the candy left.
