Question

On thursday an orange juice box contained 7/8 gallon of juice. On Friday It contained 1/6 gallon of juice how much of the juice was consumed from Thursday to Friday

Answer 1

7/8 - x = 1/6

7/8 - 1/6 = -x

42/48 - 8/48 = -x

(34/48) = -x

-34/48 = x

-34/48 = -17/24

17/24 gallons of the juice was consumed from Thursday to Friday.

Answer 2

First you need to get the same denominator
7/8 is equal to 21/24
1/6 is equal to 4/24

twenty one minus four is 17/24 which is the amount of juice that was drank.
