Question:

James had 4/5 qt of milk. He drank 1/3 of the milk. How much milk did James drink?

Enter your answer, as a fraction in simplest form, in the box.

Answer:

`Milk = (4)/(15)\ qt`

Explanation:

Given

`Total = (4)/(5)\ qt`

`Drank = (1)/(3)`

Required

Determine how much he drank

To do this, we simply multiply the total by the fraction of milk, he drank.

i.e.

`Milk = (1)/(3) * (4)/(5)\ qt`

`Milk = (1*4)/(3*5)\ qt`

`Milk = (4)/(15)\ qt`

Hence, he drank 4/15 qt
