Kevin will be left with 2 ounces of mixed nuts in the can
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total nuts = 16 ounces
As Kevin gave 1/2 of the nuts to his sister, he will be left with
[tex]= \frac{1}{2} * 16\\= 8[/tex]
He is left with 8 ounces of mixed nuts
The he eats 3/4 of the remaining
[tex]= \frac{3}{4} * 8 \\= 6\ ounces[/tex]
so he is left with 8 - 6 = 2 ounces of mixed nuts
Hence
Kevin will be left with 2 ounces of mixed nuts in the can
