Question

Marcia bake 2 pans of brownies. Her family ate 1 1/5 pans. what fraction of a pan of brownies was left?

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

2-1 1/5= 4/5

2 pans of brownies can be represented by 2. Subtract the number ate.

We can also say that.

10/5-6/5= 4/5

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

we know that

To find out the fraction of a pan of brownies that was left subtract
`1(1)/(5)` from
`2`

remember that

`1(1)/(5)=(1*5+1)/5=(6)/(5)`

so

`2-(6)/(5) =(2*5-6)/5=(4)/(5)`

therefore

the answer is

the fraction of a pan of brownies that was left is
`(4)/(5)`
