To find out how much cement Kendra's Road Paving Company had left, we need to subtract the amount used to pave the street from the total amount of cement mixed.
First, let's convert the mixed cement into a mixed fraction. 11 1/3 tons is equivalent to 34/3 tons.
Next, we subtract the amount used from the total amount: 34/3 tons - 1 3/4 tons. To subtract mixed fractions, we convert them to improper fractions: 34/3 tons - 7/4 tons. Now, we need to find a common denominator, which is 12 in this case. 34/3 tons is 136/12 tons and 7/4 tons is 21/12 tons. Subtracting these two gives us a result of 115/12 tons. So, Kendra's Road Paving Company had 115/12 tons of cement left.
