Question

Kelly bought a cup of coffee and drank 58 of it. Write an addition equation to represent how much coffee is remaining.

Answer 1

`L + (5)/(8) = 1`

Explanation:

Given

A cup of coffee

Kelly drank 5/8 of the coffee

Required

Determine how much is left

Start by representing the amount of coffee left with L

Because the amount of coffee Kelly drank is in fraction (5/8), the total cup of coffee will equate to 1;

Hence, the addition equation as requested in the question to represent the scenario is

`L + (5)/(8) = 1`
