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
