Tara is mowing her lawn. She mows
3
5
of her 925-square-meter lawn before stopping to chat with a neighbor. How many square meters does Tara have left to mow after chatting with her neighbor?

To find out how many square meters Tara has left to mow, we first need to calculate the area she has already mowed and then subtract that from the total area of the lawn.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Calculate the area mowed**:
   Tara mows \(\frac{3}{5}\) of her 925-square-meter lawn. To find the area mowed, multiply \(\frac{3}{5}\) by 925:
   
   \[
   \text{Area mowed} = \frac{3}{5} \times 925
   \]

2. **Perform the multiplication**:
   \[
   \frac{3}{5} \times 925 = \frac{3 \times 925}{5}
   \]
   \[
   = \frac{2775}{5}
   \]
   \[
   = 555 \text{ square meters}
   \]

3. **Calculate the remaining area to mow**:
   Subtract the area mowed from the total area of the lawn:
   
   \[
   \text{Area left to mow} = 925 - 555
   \]
   \[
   = 370 \text{ square meters}
   \]

So, Tara has **370 square meters** left to mow after chatting with her neighbor.

### Further Questions:
1. If Tara mowed \(\frac{2}{5}\) of the lawn instead, how many square meters would she have left to mow?
2. What fraction of the lawn has Tara left to mow?
3. If Tara takes a break after mowing 300 square meters, how much of the lawn has she completed in terms of fraction?
4. How long would it take Tara to mow the remaining 370 square meters if she mows at a rate of 50 square meters per hour?
5. If Tara and her neighbor decided to split the remaining area equally, how many square meters would each person mow?

### Tip:
When solving problems involving fractions of a total amount, it's often helpful to first calculate the part of the whole being dealt with and then apply the relevant operations to find the desired quantities.
