Sara poured 5/8 of the juice from a 2-gallon jug while serving guests at a party. How much juice, in gallons, is still left in the bottle?

It’s important to remember we are looking for the remaining amount. We start by finding the remaining fraction, in this case it is 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.
To find the amount of juice left in gallons, we can multiply this fraction by the amount of gallons Sara had originally. I hope this helps and if you need anything else please let me know.
