For a party, Jaime had 5 ⅓ bottles of cola for her friends to drink. She drank ⅓ of a bottle herself. Her friends drank 3 ⅓. How many bottles of cola does Jaime have left?
1 2/3 bottles of cola
1 2/3
Well, let's do some cola math, shall we?
Jaime started with 5 and 1/3 bottles of cola. After she drank 1/3, we need to subtract that from the total. So now we have 5 bottles.
Then, her friends, being the thirsty bunch they are, drank 3 and 1/3 bottles. We subtract that from the previous total.
5 bottles minus 3 and 1/3 bottles equals... 1 and 2/3 bottles of cola left!
So, Jaime has 1 and 2/3 bottles of cola left for herself, and hopefully, she's not feeling too fizzy about it! Enjoy the party!
To find out how many bottles of cola Jaime has left, we need to subtract the amount she drank and the amount her friends drank from the initial amount she had.
Jaime initially had 5 ⅓ bottles of cola, which can also be written as 16/3 bottles (5 × 3 + 1 = 16).
Jaime drank ⅓ of a bottle, so we subtract 1/3 from 16/3:
16/3 - 1/3 = 15/3 = 5 bottles.
Jaime's friends drank 3 ⅓ bottles, which can also be written as 10/3 bottles (3 × 3 + 1 = 10).
So we subtract 10/3 from the 5 bottles Jaime had left:
5 - 10/3 = 15/3 - 10/3 = 5/3 = 1 ⅔ bottles.
Therefore, Jaime has 1 ⅔ bottles of cola left for the party.
To find the number of bottles of cola Jaime has left, we need to subtract the amount she drank and the amount her friends drank from the original amount.
Jaime initially had 5 ⅓ bottles of cola. We can write this as a mixed number: 5 + 1/3.
Jaime drank ⅓ of a bottle, so we subtract 1/3 from 5 + 1/3:
(5 + 1/3) - (1/3).
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The denominators here are already the same, so we can go ahead and subtract the numerators:
5 - 1 = 4.
Jaime's friends drank 3 ⅓ bottles of cola. We can also write this as a mixed number: 3 + 1/3.
Now, we need to subtract this amount from the 4 bottles that Jaime has left:
4 - (3 + 1/3).
Again, we need to find a common denominator to subtract the fractions:
4 - (3 + 1/3) = 4 - (3 + 1/3) = 4 - 3 - 1/3 = 1 - 1/3.
Subtracting the numerators, we get:
1 - 1/3 = 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3.
So, Jaime has 2/3 of a bottle of cola left.
