Question

A baker bought 12 pounds of flour.He used 5/6 of the flour how many pounds are left​

Answer 1

2 pounds are left.

Explanation:

12 pounds divided into 6 parts (or sixths) = 2 pounds each. 5 of those 6ths were used, so 10 pounds used. 2 pounds are left.

Alternately, multiply 12 x 5 for your numerator = 60, divide by 5, your denominator, and get 10 pounds used.
