Question

Mr. Shaffer bought a block of fudge that weighed 8 3/4 pounds. He shared 2.45 pounds with his friends. How much does he have left?

Answer 1

6.3 or 6 3/10 pounds

Explanation:

First you convert 8 3/4 into a decimal.

8 3/4 = 8.75

You then subtract 8.75 and 2.45.

8.75 - 2.45 = 6.3

6.3 as a fraction is 6 3/10

Therefore, he has 6.3 or 6 3/10 pounds of fudge left.

Hope this helps:)
