A granola recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of almonds. A bag of almonds contains 2 cups. To make 2 1/2 batches of granola, Ali buys 5 bags of almonds. How many cups of almonds will he have left over?

Thank you!

4 1/6

What's the answer or the work to solve this

To find out how many cups of almonds Ali will have left over, we need to calculate the total number of cups of almonds needed and then subtract the total number of cups of almonds Ali bought.

First, let's calculate the total number of cups of almonds needed to make 2 1/2 batches of granola.

The recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of almonds for one batch of granola.
To make 2 1/2 batches, we need to multiply the amount of almonds for one batch by 2 1/2:

2 1/3 cups * 2 1/2 = (7/3) cups * (5/2) = (7 * 5)/(3 * 2) = 35/6 = 5 5/6 cups

So, Ali needs a total of 5 5/6 cups of almonds to make 2 1/2 batches of granola.

Second, let's calculate the total number of cups of almonds Ali bought.

Ali bought 5 bags of almonds, and each bag contains 2 cups.
So, the total number of cups of almonds Ali bought is:

5 bags * 2 cups/bag = 10 cups

Now, to find out how many cups of almonds Ali will have left over, we subtract the total number of cups of almonds Ali bought from the total number of cups of almonds needed:

Total cups needed - Total cups bought = 5 5/6 cups - 10 cups

To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 6 in this case:

5 5/6 cups = (5 * 6 + 5)/6 = 35/6 cups

Now we can subtract:

35/6 cups - 10 cups = (35/6) - (60/6) = (35 - 60)/6 = -25/6 cups

Therefore, Ali will have -25/6 cups of almonds left over.

Note: Negative cups do not make sense in this context, so we can conclude that Ali does not have any almonds left over.

She has 5/6 cups left of the almond milk.

(7/3)(5/2) = 35/6 = 5 5/6 cups needed

5 * 2 = 10

10 - 5 5/6 = ?

2 1/3 times 2 1/2 = 4 1/6

5 -4 1/6 = 5/6 cups
