Mike bought 3.08 pounds of fruit for a class party. The class ate 2.3 pounds of the fruit. How much fruit is left?

Question

​
pounds

Answer 1

To find out how much fruit is left after the class ate some, you can subtract the amount eaten from the amount bought.

Mike bought 3.08 pounds of fruit and the class ate 2.3 pounds.

So, the calculation will be:

\[ 3.08 - 2.3 = 0.78 \]

Therefore, there is 0.78 pounds of fruit left.
