Question

you have a 20 ounce bottle of juice. you pour out 1/4 of the bottle to share with a friend. if your our out 3 ounces for yourself, what fraction of the 20 ounces will be left in the bottle?

Answer 1

12 ounces will be left in the bottle

Turn the 1/4 into a decimal which is 0.25 and times that by 20 and you’ll get 5, 5 is the amount of ounces you poured for your friend. Subtract 20 ounces by 5 ounces and you’ll get 15 ounces, then subtract 15 by 3 which is the amount of juice you poured for yourself and you’ll be left with 12 ounces in the bottle.
