Question

Terrell got 1 3/4 pounds of ground meat and 2 1/6 of ground chicken. he used 1 2/3 pounds of ground chicken to make a casserole. how much ground chicken did he have left?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay so we have to solve this in separate parts. Like so, its wiill go like this: 2+ 1/6 - 1 - 2/3. So we see that we have 2 and 1 as whole. Subtract 2 - 1 is 1 right. Now for fractional part 1/6 - 2/3. Since its uneven, we have to find the LCD which is 6. This forms of our fractions into 1/6- 4/6. 1/6 - 4/6 is 3/6. simplify it would result in 1/2.  The amount of ground chicken that Terrell has left is 1/2.
