Vicky filled a bucket with 8 gallons of water. Later, she poured out 3/4 of a gallon of the

water. How much water is left in the bucket?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

step 1

Find the difference

8-3/4

Multiply 8 by (4/4)

8(4/4)=32/4

so

32/4-3/4=29/4 gal

Convert to mixed number

29/4=28/4+1/4=7 1/4 gal

answer is

7 1/4 gal
