Question

Angelique makes 5 4/7 quarts of chili. She and her family eat 2 1/4 quarts. Will a 4-quart container hold the remaining chili?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

The chilli remaining is:

5 4/7 - 2 1/4

`5(4)/(7) - 2(1)/(4)`

=
`3(16 - 7)/(28)`

=
`3(9)/(28)`

3 9/28 is less than 4 quarts so the container would hold the remaining chilli
