Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find fraction of lawn left
The fraction of the lawn left is $1-\frac{3}{5}$.
$1-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$
## Step2: Calculate area left
Multiply the fraction of the lawn left by the total area of the lawn.
The total area of the lawn is 925 square - meters. So the area left is $\frac{2}{5}\times925$.
$\frac{2}{5}\times925 = 2\times\frac{925}{5}=2\times185 = 370$
# Answer:
370
