Answer:
Kip left with [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds of toffee
Step-by-step explanation:
Kip bought one and four sixths pounds of toffee. He gave five sixths of a pound to his friend
Kip bought 1 4/6 pounds of toffee
Convert mixed fraction into an improper fraction
[tex]1 \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1*6+4}{6} =\frac{10}{6}[/tex]
Kip bought 10/6 of toffee
He gave [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] of toffee to his friend
So we subtract 5/6 from 10/6
[tex]\frac{10}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Kip left with [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds of toffee
