a water cooler contains 5 gallons of water.if drink 3/5 gallon for each of the next 6 days how many gallons will be left in water cooler at the end of the sixth?
5-(3/5*6)
first multiply 3/5 by 6
3/5 * 6 = 18/5
then convert 5 into fraction such that its denominator is 5:
5 = 25/5
therefore:
(25-18)/5 = 7/5 or 1 2/5 gallons
so there,, :)
is it 3 3/5
3 3/5 was the part in parenthesis. So now do 5-3 3/5.
Jen told you to subtract. You didn't do that.
