7 2/3 x 4 5 3/4 / 8 1/4 3
7 4/6 2 1/2 3 1/4 3 2/2 + -

Answer 1

To find the amount of chicken that remains unused, we need to subtract the amount used from the amount bought.

Amount bought: 5 3/4 pounds
Amount used: 2 1/2 pounds

To subtract these amounts, we can convert them to improper fractions:

Amount bought: 5 3/4 = 23/4 pounds
Amount used: 2 1/2 = 5/2 pounds

Now we can subtract:

23/4 - 5/2

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The smallest number that both 4 and 2 can divide evenly into is 4, so we convert 5/2 to have a denominator of 4:

5/2 = (5/2) * (2/2) = 10/4

Now we subtract:

23/4 - 10/4 = 13/4

So, 13/4 pounds of chicken remain unused.

To simplify as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (4):

13 ÷ 4 = 3 with a remainder of 1

So, there are 3 whole pounds of chicken remaining, with 1/4 pound left over.

The answer is 3 1/4.

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we need to subtract the amount of chicken used in the recipe from the total amount of chicken Brooke bought.

Total amount of chicken bought: 5 3/4 pounds
Amount of chicken used in the recipe: 2 1/2 pounds

To find how much chicken remains unused, we subtract the amount used from the total amount bought:

5 3/4 - 2 1/2 = 7 4/6 - 2 1/2 = 7 8/12 - 2 6/12 = 5 2/12 = 5 1/6

Therefore, 5 1/6 pounds of chicken remain unused.

Answer 3

To find out how many pounds of chicken remain unused, we need to subtract the amount of chicken used from the total amount of chicken Brooke bought.

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/2 pounds = 5/2 pounds
5 3/4 pounds = 23/4 pounds

2. Subtract the amount of chicken used from the total amount:
23/4 pounds - 5/2 pounds = (23/4) - (10/4) = 13/4 pounds

Therefore, Brooke has 13/4 pounds or 3 1/4 pounds of chicken left unused.
