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. and step by step pls

Answer 1

Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to the cat the rest of the day.

She feeds the cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day, and she feeds it 1/2 cup in the evening. Therefore, the equation can be set up as:

1/2 + x = 4/5

To find x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5

Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 2/5 cup of food the rest of the day.

Answer 2

Are you sure?

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct that.

Given:
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

Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to the cat the rest of the day.

The total amount of food Kendall feeds the cat can be represented by the equation:
1/2 + x = 4/5

To solve for x, isolate x:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/4
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5

Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 2/5 cup of food the rest of the day.
