Question

Elanor has 2 2/3 cups of barbeque sauce. She uses 2/5 of it for a recipe. How much barbeque sauce does Elanor have left? (explain please, I did this but I got the wrong answer)

A.1 1/5
B.1 3/5
C. 3 11/15
D.4 4/15

Answer 1

Explanation:
2 213 - 215
= (2-0) + (2/3 - 2/5)
2 ÷ 213 × 2/5 - 213 × 2/5
= 2 + 10/15- (-6)
= 2 + 16/15
=2 ÷ 11/5
= 3 1/15
That is how I got 3 1/15

Answer 2

Answer:I got 3 1/15 but let me know if it is correct

Explanation:

2 2/3 - 2/5

= (2 – 0) + ( 2/3 - 2/5)

2 + 2/3 × 2/5 - 2/3 x 2/5

= 2 + 10/15- (-6)

= 2 + 16/15

=2 + 1 1/5

= 3 1/15

That is how I got 3 1/15
