Chris planted one-sixth of his watermelon seeds and 20 cucumber seeds. If he planted 26 seeds total, how many watermelon seeds does he have left?

he has 5 left because there are 20 cucumber seeds left and he has 26 seeds total. so 26-20 is 6 and 1/6 of 6 is one. if he planted one then he would have 5 left.
