Question

Jada and Carl share a box of cereal. By the end of the week, Jada has eaten 3/10 of the box and Carl ate 3/5 of the box. How many ounces are left in the box?

Answer 1

There would only be 1/10 of the box left.

Explanation:

In order to find this, subtract the two amounts eaten from 1 whole box.

1 - 3/10 - 3/5. = Leftover

Now give them all common denominators and perform the indicated operations.

10/10 - 3/10 - 6/10 = Leftover

1/10 = Leftover.
