Tara had 1 5/8 pounds of dried nuts.She ate 1/4 pound of dried nuts each day for 6 days

Question

How many pound of dried nuts did Tara have left after 6 days?

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of dried nuts Tara had left after 6 days, we first need to calculate how many pounds of nuts she ate in total over the 6 days.

1/4 pound of nuts eaten per day x 6 days = 1 1/2 pounds of nuts eaten in total

Now, we subtract the total amount of nuts eaten from the original amount of nuts Tara had:

1 5/8 pounds - 1 1/2 pounds = 1/8 pounds

So, Tara had 1/8 pounds of dried nuts left after 6 days.
