Kendall feeds her cat a total of 4/5 cup of food everyday. She feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.

1 answer

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

Therefore, the equation would be:

1/2 + x = 4/5

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation:

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

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