Question

Jack brought a 32 ounce drink at the convenience store. On his way out the door, he spilled 1/3 of his drink. How many ounces of drink dies Jack leave left.

Answer 1

21 1/3 ounces

Explanation:

If 1/3 was lost, 2/3 remains.

2/3 × 32 ounces = 21 1/3 ounces

Answer 2

Answer: Jack left with 21.33 ounces of drink.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of ounces drink = 32

Part of drink spilled out =
`(1)/(3)`

Part of remaining drink left =
`1-(1)/(3)\\\\=(2)/(3)`

Number of ounces of drink left is given by

`(2)/(3)* 32\\\\=(64)/(3)\\\\=21.33\ ounces`

Hence, Jack left with 21.33 ounces of drink.
