HELP IM BEING TIMED!!!!

Liam had a container of oatmeal that contained 5 and one-half cups of oatmeal. Liam ate 4 over 9 cup of oatmeal every morning before school for a week. Which is the best estimate of the number of cups of oatmeal that Liam had left in the container at the end of the five-day week?
2 and one-half
3
3 and one-half
5

Answer 1

It's 2 and a half because 4/9 is kinda close to 1/2? anyways, if you add up 0.5 every day for 5 days you get 2.5 :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

I would say A 2 1/2

5 1/2 - (4/9 * 7) = 2 7/18 (2.38888 rounded to 2.4 which is about 2 1/2) Hoped this helped. Good Luck
