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

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

1/4 pound of dried nuts per day * 6 days = 1 1/2 pounds of dried nuts consumed

Then, we can subtract the total amount of dried nuts consumed from the initial amount Tara had:

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

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