Answer:

3 and 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make this easier by making them both ?/18 5 and 1/2 will become 99/18 and 4/9 will become 8/18 if every day he eat 8 of the 99 for 5 days we multiply the 8 by the 5 and thats 40, next we subtract 99 and 40, and thats 59/18 now lets divide our 59 by 18 so we can see how many whole numbers we have and that would be 3 and 5/18 so the answer is he has 3 and 5/18 left
