Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to her cat the rest of the day.
We know that she feeds her cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day, and she feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening. Therefore, the equation we can set up is:
x + 1/2 = 4/5
To solve for x, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/4
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5
Therefore, Kendall gives her cat 2/5 cup of food the rest of the day.
Kendall feeds her cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day. She feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat the rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.
