Luke had 25/10 pints of blackberries. He used 4/5 of a pint on his cereal and 1 pint in muffins. How many pints of blackberries does he have left?

Respuesta :

Luke has 1/2 pint left

The pints he has left is the difference between the amount of pints he had and the pints he used

Pints left = pints Luke had - pints Luke used

Pints Luke used = [tex]\frac{25}{10}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = 2 pints

Pints left = [tex]\frac{25}{10}[/tex] - 2

[tex]\frac{25}{10}[/tex] is an improper fraction and can be simplified to a mixed fraction

= [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 2 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
