I am struggling to understand why the answer isn't just 1 -[2][/3](1-[2][/5]). Isn't the [2][/5] she travelled on the first day already accounted for in this part? :

1-[2][/5]

Hi,
The distance travelled in Day 1 is 2/5

The distance travelled in Day 2 is 2/3rd of remaining distance .ie., 2/3 (1-2/5)

Since Kelly took a total of 3 days, Distance for 3rd day is

Total - (Day 1)-(Day2)

Which is 1 - (2/5) - 2/3(1-2/5).

Option D

The 2/5 of day 1 is NOT accounted in the calculation which you have considered.
