Answer:

The amount of water left in the bucket is 47.03 ounces.

Explanation:

It is given in the question that:-

Total amount of bucket water = 64 ounces

Amount of water dumped = 5.17 ounces

Amount of water she drank = 11 (4/5) ounces

We can write the mixed fraction 11(4/5) as 11.8 ounces

We have to find the amount of water left in the bucket.

Water left = Total amount of bucket water - Amount of water dumped by her - Amount water she drank

By using simple subtraction, we get

Water left = 64 - 5.17 - 11.8 = 47.03 ounces.
