Question

Sinister Stan stole 3 3/4 oz of slime from Messy Molly, but his evil plans require 6 3/8 oz of slime. He stole another 2 3/5 oz of slime from Rude Ralph. How much more slime does Sinister Stan need for his evil plan?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are told that Sinister Stan stole 3 3/4 oz of slime from Messy Molly and stole another 2 3/5 oz of slime from Rude Ralph. The total oz of slime stole would be:

= 3 3/4 + 2 3/5

= 3 15/20 + 2 12/20

= 5 27/20

= 6 7/20

We are told that his evil plans require 6 3/8 oz of slime, the amount needed for Sinister Stan for his evil plan would be:

= 6 3/8 - 6 7/20

= 6 30/80 - 6 28/80

= 2/80

= 1/40
