Amy, Beth , Gretchen and Deb each had a 2 large chocolate bars. Each chocolate bar was the same size. Here is what each girl ate:

Amy :8/6 of her chocolate bars
Beth : 1 1/6 of her chocolate bar
Katie: 9/6 of her chocolate bars
Gretchen: 1 5/6 of her chocolate bars
Deb: 1 3/6 of her chocolate bars

And your question is?

How much did each girl eat?

How could you show how many chocolate bars were eaten in total?

Add the fractions and subtract from 8.

That worked! Thank you!

Now hiw do I find out how much chocolate remains?

Subtract the total eaten from 8.

Duh! Thank you again!

You're very welcome, Ambie.

To find out how much chocolate each girl ate, we need to find the sum of their chocolate consumption.

First, we need to convert each fraction into a mixed number.

Amy: 8/6 = 1 2/6
Beth: 1 1/6 (already a mixed number)
Katie: 9/6 = 1 3/6
Gretchen: 1 5/6
Deb: 1 3/6

Now, let's add up the consumption of each girl:

Amy: 1 2/6 + 0/6 (since it is mentioned she only had 2 chocolate bars) = 1 2/6
Beth: 1 1/6
Katie: 1 3/6
Gretchen: 1 5/6
Deb: 1 3/6

To simplify the answers, we can find a common denominator and add the numerators:

Amy: 1 2/6 = 1 1/3
Beth: 1 1/6
Katie: 1 3/6 = 1 1/2
Gretchen: 1 5/6
Deb: 1 3/6 = 1 1/2

So, the amount of chocolate each girl ate is as follows:

Amy: 1 1/3
Beth: 1 1/6
Katie: 1 1/2
Gretchen: 1 5/6
Deb: 1 1/2
