Question

Lee and Carl share a 24-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Lee has used

5
8
of the bucket, and Carl has used
1
4
of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

Answer 1

3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 is 2/8 + 5/8 is 7/8, 7/8 of 24 is 21, 24-21=3. Also, this is math, not history.

Answer 2

5/8 of 24 is 15 so 24-15 = 9
1/4 of 24 is 6 so 9 - 6 = 3
So there's 3 ounces left in the bucket.
