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.
