Answer:

The Super Sleuths did not find all 100 ounces of gold, they only found 92 2/3 ounces, so they have 7 1/3 more ounces of gold to find left.

Explanation:

Pirate hid 100 ounces of gold.

1. 19 1/2 ounces of gold was found.

2. 26 2/3 more ounces of gold was found.

3. 5 1/6 more ounces of gold was found.

4. 48 1/3 more ounces of gold was found.

First, we need to add up all of the ounces of gold that was found.

12 1/2 + 26 2/3 = 39 1/6

5 1/6 + 48 1/3 = 53 1/2

53 1/2 + 39 1/6 = 92 2/3

100 - 92 2/3 = 7 1/3
