Question

A cheese maker made 96.639 ounces of cheddar cheese. Then she sold 91.705 ounces of the cheese to a local deli. How much cheddar cheese does the cheese maker have left?

Answer 1

To find out how much cheddar cheese the cheese maker has left, you need to subtract the amount sold from the original amount made.

Original amount of cheddar cheese: 96.639 ounces
Amount sold: 91.705 ounces

Now, perform the subtraction:

\( 96.639 - 91.705 = 4.934 \)

So, the cheese maker has **4.934 ounces** of cheddar cheese left.
