Question

Jose and a Frank made 3 1/5 pounds of pasta. They ate 1 2/5 pounds for dinner how much was left over?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 4/5

Step-by-step explanation: 3 1/5 - 1 2/5= 1 4/5. Let do 3-1=2 and these are 2 full number but we need to convert one of them to 5/5 to subtract the 1/5.

Answer 2

1 4/5.

3-1/5 - 1-2/5 = 1.8
.8 = 8/10 = 4/5
