Question

Amber has a 4/5 lb bag of colored sand she uses 1/2 of the bag for an art project how much sand does she use for the project (NO LINKS PLSSS) also add the steps​

Answer 1

ANSWER is 2/5

First you have to make the denominators of 1/2 and 4/5 the same.

You multiply 2 and 5 can both make 10. So you multiply the 2 times 5 to get 10. Whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 1/2 becomes 5/10

Then do the same to 4/5 and it becomes 8/10.

Now you just subtract 8/10 from 5/10 and you get 4/10

Lastly simplify and you have 2/5

Hope this helps
