Question

Mark gave away 2/3 of a drop of his most delicious nectar and he only had 2 drops to begin with! How many drops of nectar did he have left?

Answer 1

In order to find how many drops Mark has left, we must subtract the initial amount he had at the beginning and the amount he gave away.

`2-(2)/(3)`

make both as a common denominator fraction

`\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(3)/(3)-(2)/(3) \\ (6)/(3)-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

simplify

`(4)/(3)`

he has 4/3 drops of nectar left.
