Lauren bought 20 oz of sliced ham. She used 3/4 of the ham to make sandwiches for her friends. She used 1/5 of the ham in an omelet. How many ounces of ham were left?

Answer 1

19 oz

Explanation:

Lauren bought 20 ounces of sliced ham, out of which she used three-fourth of the ham to make sandwiches for her friends and one fifth of the ham in an omelette. We are to find the ounces of ham that were left. So, total ounces of ham that were used = 15 + 4 = 19 ounces.
