To set up the problem and show the solution, we can use the following:
Total chicken bought: 5 3/4 pounds
Chicken needed for recipe: 2 1/2 pounds
To find the remaining unused chicken, we can subtract the chicken needed for the recipe from the total chicken bought.
5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = 7 4/6 - 2 1/2
Simplifying the fractions, we have:
5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = (5+4/4) - (2+2/2) = 5 1/4 - 2 1/2 = (5-2) + (1/4 - 1/2) = 3 + (-1/4) = 2 3/4
Therefore, 2 3/4 pounds of chicken remain unused.
