Question

One cat food bag contains 10 5/6 cups of cat food. If Vonyetta uses an scoop that holds 1 1/3 cups how much cat food is left in the bag after she removes five scoops of cat food

Answer 1

4 1/6 cups left.

Explanation:

Make 1/3 into 2/6. Since both sides are timed by two it equals out.

Subtract 1 2/6 from the answer 5 times to get remaining answer.

10 5/6 - 1 2/6 (1) = 9 3/6 - 1 2/6 (2) = 8 1/6 - 1 2/6 (3) = 6 5/6 - 1 2/6 (4) =

5 3/6 - 1 2/6 (5)= 4 1/6
