Answer:

5/9 pounds grapes were left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alice bought grapes =  \(\frac{8}{9}\) of a  pound

She ate = \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a pound

To find out how many pounds were left, we subtract 1/3 from 8/9

\(\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}\)

=\(\frac{8-3}{9}\)

=\(\frac{5}{9}\)

5/9 pounds grapes were left.
