BRO PLS HELPPPPP

Aaron filled the bird bath with 64 ounces of water. A group of blue jays came by and drank 5.17 ounces. Then a vulture swooped in and drank eleven and four fifths ounces of the water. How much water is left in the bird bath?

59.80 ounces
70.63 ounces
47.03 ounces
80.97 ounces

Answer 1

47.03 ounces

Explanation:

64 ounces is the start.

The blue jays drank 5.17 ounces.

64-5.17 = 58.83

Then a vulture swooped in and drank eleven and four-fifths ounces of the water.

`11(4)/(5)` = 11.8

58.83 - 11.8 = 47.03 ounces

another way

`11(4)/(5)` = 11.8

5.17 + 11.8 = 16.97

64 - 16.97 = 47.03 ounces
