Question

Ari and Greg share a 12-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Ari has used 1 6 of the bucket, and Greg has used 2 3 of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

Answer 1

2 ounces of clay is left in the bucket

Explanation:

Total amount of clay in the bucket = 12 ounce

Ari used 1/6th of the clay in the bucket and Greg used 2/3 of the clay in the bucket

Hence, the remaining clay in the bucket

12 - 1/6 *12 - 2/3 * 12

12 - 2-8
