a deli ordered 6 1 /2 wheels of cheese over the weekend 3 5/8 wheels of cheese we're sold on Tuesday 1 3/4 of cheese we're sold how much is left for Wednesday
3 5/8 + 1 3/4=5 3/8 6 1/2-5 3/8=1 1/8 1 1/8 wheels of cheese is left for wednesday
Answer:
\(\frac{9}{8}\) or \(1\frac{1}{8}\) wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.
Step-by-step explanation:
A deli ordered \(6\frac{1}{2}\) or \(\frac{13}{2}\) wheels of cheese.
Over the weekend \(3\frac{5}{8}\) or \(\frac{29}{8}\) wheels of cheese we're sold.
On Tuesday \(1\frac{3}{4}\) or \(\frac{7}{4}\) of cheese we're sold.
Total cheese sold in these days = \(\frac{29}{8} +\frac{7}{4}\)
= \(\frac{29+14}{8}\) = \(\frac{43}{8}\)
Now cheese left for Wednesday = \(\frac{13}{2} -\frac{43}{8}\)
= \(\frac{52-43}{8}\) = \(\frac{9}{8}\)
Hence, \(\frac{9}{8}\) or \(1\frac{1}{8}\) wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.
