Answer:

0.4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

In a day

Miguel is to feed Chester ,

Chester can eat 3/4 of an ounce for each pound of body weight.

Chester weighs 6.8 pounds

Hence:

1 pound = 3/4 ounce

6.8 pounds = x ounces

Cross Multiply

x = 6.8 × (3/4) ounces

x = 5.1 ounces

Chester is to be fed 5.1 ounces of food each day.

The amount of food left after 1 day

= 5.5 ounces - 5.1 ounces

= 0.4 ounces

Hence, 0.4 ounces of food is left after 1 day

jenny`s mom says she has an hour before it's bedtime. Jenny's spends 3\5 of hour texting a friend and 3\8 of the remaining time
laiz [17]
First you'll need to get the same denominator. So instead of 3/5 and 3/8 you'll have 24/40 and 15/40. Now that we've changed the value of the denominator, the 40/40 will now represents the 1 hour that Jenny has before bedtime. So you add 24/40 and 15/40 and get 39/40. 39/40 stands for the time that Jenny has already spent brushing her teeth and texting her friend all together. Since the 1 hour is 40/40 subtract 39/40 from it to get 1/40. 1/40 is equal to the rest of the time Jenny spends reading or 1.5 minutes.
