Question

That's my question abt the fraction so I need help with it

Answer 1

Step 1:

Add the total fractions used to make salad.

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ 2}(1)/(8)\text{ + 2}(3)/(8)\text{ + 2}(4)/(8)\text{ + 2}(5)/(8)\text{ + 2}(7)/(8) \\ =\text{ 10\lparen}(1+3+4+5+7)/(8)) \\ =\text{ 10\lparen}(20)/(8)) \\ =\text{ 12}(1)/(4)\text{ pounds} \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

The fraction of pound left

`Fraction\text{ of pounds left = 16 - 12}(1)/(4)\text{ = 3}(3)/(4)\text{ pounds}`
