To find out how much juice is left in the pitcher, we need to subtract the amount of juice poured out by Bernice from the initial amount of juice squeezed by Ashley. Ashley squeezed 12 1/2 ounces of juice into a pitcher that can hold 14 1/4 ounces, and Bernice poured 5 5 3/8 ounces of juice out. The amount of juice left in the pitcher is 57/8 ounces.
To find out how much juice is left in the pitcher, we need to subtract the amount of juice poured out by Bernice from the initial amount of juice squeezed by Ashley. Ashley squeezed 12 1/2 ounces of juice into a pitcher that can hold 14 1/4 ounces. Bernice poured 5 5 3/8 ounces of juice out. To solve this problem, we can first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then subtract Bernice's amount from Ashley's amount.
Ashley's amount = 12 1/2 ounces = (2 * 12 + 1) / 2 = 25/2 ounces
Bernice's amount = 5 5 3/8 ounces = (8 * 5 + 5 + 3) / 8 = 43/8 ounces
Now, subtract Bernice's amount from Ashley's amount: Ashley's amount - Bernice's amount = 25/2 - 43/8 = (100/8 - 43/8) / 8 = 57/8 ounces
Therefore, there will be 57/8 ounces of juice left in the pitcher.
