Kendall feeds her cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day. She feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat the rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.
I apologize for the incorrect solution. Let's solve the problem correctly.
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to the cat the rest of the day.
We know that Kendall feeds the cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day and she feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening.
Therefore, the equation that represents the total amount of food Kendall gives the cat is:
1/2 + x = 4/5.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10 to get rid of the denominators:
10 * (1/2 + x) = 10 * (4/5),
5 + 10x = 8.
Next, we can subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
10x = 3.
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 10:
x = 3/10.
Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 3/10 cup of food the rest of the day. Answer: \boxed{\frac{3}{10}}.
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to the cat the rest of the day.
The total amount of food Kendall gives the cat every day is 4/5 cup.
Since she feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening, the amount of food she gives the cat the rest of the day is 4/5 - 1/2 = 2/10 - 5/10 = -3/10 cup.
Therefore, the amount of food Kendall gives the cat the rest of the day is -3/10 cup. Answer: \boxed{-\frac{3}{10}}.
