if billy had 10/17 of candy and gave away 2/3, what is billy left with
To find out what Billy is left with, we need to subtract the amount he gave away from the amount he had initially.
Billy initially had 10/17 of candy and he gave away 2/3 of it.
To add the fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator between 17 and 3 is 51.
Converting 10/17 to have a denominator of 51: (10/17) * (3/3) = 30/51
Converting 2/3 to have a denominator of 51: (2/3) * (17/17) = 34/51
Now, we subtract the amount Billy gave away from the amount he had initially:
30/51 - 34/51 = -4/51
Therefore, Billy is left with -4/51 of candy.
