Answer:
Amount left is 9/16 pounds and closest to the answer ½
Step-by-step explanation:
Zoe bought ⅞ pound of potato salad
5/16 pound was consumed during lunch
The amount of potatoe salad left is =?
To find the amount of potatoe salad left, we'll subtract the amount consumed from the amount bought from the store.
Amount left = 7/8 - 5/16
To solve the fraction, find the factor of 8 and 16. And 16 will do just fine for this.
The amount left = 7/8 - 5/16 = 9/16.
The amount of salad left is 9/16 pounds.
The closest to the answers is ½
