Question

Mario fille a hummingbird feeder with 3/4 cup of sugar water on Friday .Monday , Mario sees that 1/8 of sugar water is left .how much sugar water did hummingbirds drink ​

Answer 1

`(5)/(8)` of total sugar was drink by humming bird

Solution:

Given that,

When the Mario kept the humming feeder on Friday it had
`(3)/(4)` cup of sugar water

When he sees on Monday, it had only
`(1)/(8)` of sugar water

So, this means the water is consumed by the humming bird will be the difference of the two values:-

`\text { Sugar water consumed }=(3)/(4)-(1)/(8)`

On solving we get,

`=(3)/(4)-(1)/(8)=(24-4)/(32)=(20)/(32)`

`=(5)/(8)`

Hence, the amount of sugar water consumed is
`(5)/(8)` of total sugar at the starting
