Answer 1

Given,

Steven eats 5 2/4 ounces of a chocolate bar weighing a total of 16 ounces.

To find: How much of the chocolate bar is still left?

Solution:

Steven eats 5 2/4 ounces of chocolate.

`5(2)/(4)=(22)/(4)`

Now, the total of 16 ounces. Hence, the left choco bars are

`\begin{gathered} 16-(22)/(4)=(64-22)/(4) \\ =(42)/(4) \\ =(21)/(2) \\ =10(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer in mixed numbers is

`10(1)/(2)`
