You have a 20-ounce bottle of juice. You pour out of the bottle to share with a friend.

If you pour out 3 ounces for yourself, what fraction of the 20 ounces will be left in the
bottle?

Answer: 17/20

Explanation:

20 - 3 = 17 left

It asks for what fraction of the 20 ounces (total) will be left in the bottle. So you divide what is left (17) by the total (20)

17/20
