it’s about geese
a flock of geese on a pond are watched continuously
at 1:00 pm 1/5 of the geese flew away
at 2:00 pm 1/8 of the geese that remained flew away
at 3:00 pm 3 times as many geese as flown away at 1:00 pm leaving 28 geese on the pond
at no other time did any geese arrive or fly away

LOL, it would be very difficult to have .8 of a goose. Try this:
let X = total number of geese
1/5 x = geese that left at 1
1/8(4/5x) = geese that left at 2 => 1/10x
3/5 x = geese that left at 3
x – 1/5x – 1/10x – 3/5x = 28
x = 280
1PM = 56
2PM = 28
3PM = 168
total of 252 geese flew away leaving 28
