Question

A box of cany holds 34 pieces when fiest opened. The box is 3/8 full. How many pieces of candy have been eaten?

Answer 1

21.25 pieces of candy have been eaten.

Explanation:

Pretty much, we have to start by finding how many times 8 can go into 34, which is 4.25. So if we are subtracting the whole from three eighths, 3/8 will equal 12.75/34. 34-12.75= 21.25. Therefore, 21.25 pieces of candy have been eaten.
