Question

Ashley is performing an experiment about evaporation for her science class. She places a bucket of water out in the sun and measures the water level in the bucket throughout the day.

If the bucket was 4/5 full at the beginning of the day and 1/5 full at the end of the day, by what fraction of the bucket did the water level decrease?

Answer 1

i would say 3/5 because 3/5 is 60 and 4/5 is 80 and 1/5 is 20 and 80-20=60 and 3/5 is 60 in fraction form so i would say 3/5
