Answer:

1/8 pounds fudge will be left over

A store had 2 5/8 pounds of fudge at the end of the day. They use the fudge to make as many complete 1/4 pound packages as possible. How much fudge will be left over?

Explanation:

Given;

Total amount of fudge available = 2 5/8 = 21/8 pounds

Package size = 1/4 pounds

How much fudge will be left over;

We want to determine the amount of fudge that would remain after making as much as possible 1/4 pounds fudge.

20/8 is divisible by 1/4

20/8 ÷ 1/4 = 10

After making a total of 10 1/4 pounds fudge, we are left with;

21/8 - 20/8 = 1/8

Leftover = 1/8 pounds fudge
