Question
The Parent-Teacher Association made 16 2/5 gallons of fruit punch for Parents' Night. Parents and teachers drank only 7 gallons altogether that night. How many gallons of fruit punch did the Parent-Teacher Association have left?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed numbe
Solution
Primero, convertimos el número mixto 16 2/5 a una fracción impropia.
16 2/5 = 16 + 2/5 = (16 * 5/5) + 2/5 = 80/5 + 2/5 = 82/5
Luego, restamos los 7 galones que se bebieron de los 82/5 galones.
7 = 7/1 = 35/5
Ahora, restamos las fracciones:
82/5 - 35/5 = (82 - 35)/5 = 47/5
Finalmente, convertimos la fracción impropia 47/5 a un número mixto.
47/5 = 9 2/5
Por lo tanto, la Asociación de Padres y Maestros tiene 9 2/5 galones de ponche de frutas restantes.
