A carton of milk was shared among four family members. Mr. and Mrs. Williams each drank 1/8 of it. Their son drank 1/4 of it and their daughter drank 1/2 of it. What fraction of the milk was left?
None of it was left because your subtracting all of the fractions and it will lead to 0
none
none cuz first of all, they be drinkin too much, second, if they be drinkin that much, they gon have none left cuz u gotta subtract all of those fractions then that would lead to 0 bruh. ->- i feel like dis too ez..
To find out what fraction of the milk was left, we first need to determine how much milk was consumed by each family member and then subtract that amount from the whole carton.
Mr. Williams and Mrs. Williams each drank 1/8 of the milk. Since they both drank the same amount, we can combine their fractions:
1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8
Now, their son drank 1/4 of the milk, which is equivalent to 2/8. So, we can add the fractions together:
2/8 + 2/8 = 4/8
Next, their daughter drank 1/2 of the milk, which is equivalent to 4/8. Adding this to the previous amount gives:
4/8 + 4/8 = 8/8
Now, we subtract the total amount consumed from the whole carton, which is 8/8:
1 - 8/8 = 8/8 - 8/8 = 0/8
The fraction 0/8 means that there is no milk left in the carton, as all of it was consumed by the family members.
