Question

if rose and Carl share a 18 ounce bucket of clay. by the end of the week rose has used 1/6 of the Bucket and carl used 2/3 of the bucket How many ounces are left in the bucket​

Answer 1

3 ounces left

Explanation:

We convert both 2/3 and 1/6 into a similar fraction. In this case, the simplest way to answer the problem is to convert them into eighteenths, as when we convert them to this, the numberator will show the amount of ounces used. SO, 2/3=12/18=12 ounces used and 1/6=3/18=3 ounces used. The total answer of ounces used is 15, so 18-15=3 ounces left
