Question

Anna and Glen shared a bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Anna has used 5/8 of the bucket, and Glen has used 1/4 of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

Answer 1

If Anna used 5/8 of the bucket and Glen used 1/4 of the bucket, then the total amount of clay used is:

5/8 + 1/4 = 10/16 + 4/16 = 14/16 = 7/8

Therefore, there is 1 - 7/8 = 1/8 of the bucket of clay left.

If we assume that the bucket is full, then the amount of clay left in the bucket is:

1/8 x the capacity of the bucket

We don't know the capacity of the bucket, so we can't give an exact answer. But if we assume that the bucket is a standard size, we can estimate that there are about 2-3 ounces of clay left in the bucket.
