Question

You received 1⁄3 pound of candy from your grandmother, 1⁄2 pound of candy from your sister, but your best friend ate 1⁄5 pound of candy. How much candy do you have left?

Answer 1

19/30

Step-by-step explanation:

`[(1)/(3) + (1)/(2)] - (1)/(5)\\\\\\frac{1}{3} = (10)/(30)\\\\\\frac{1}{2} = (15)/(30)\\\\\\frac{1}{5} = (6)/(30)\\\\\Then:\\`

[(1/3) + (1/2)] - 1/5 = [(10/30) + (15/30] - 6/30

= [25/30) - 6/30 = 19/30
