write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. simplify any fractions.
$square$ square meters

Explanation:

Step1: Find remaining fraction of lawn

The fraction left to mow is $1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$.

Step2: Calculate remaining area

Multiply total area by remaining fraction: $925 \times \frac{2}{5}$
First, simplify: $\frac{925 \times 2}{5} = 185 \times 2$

Step3: Compute final value

$185 \times 2 = 370$

Answer:

370 square meters
