Tara had one and 5/8 lb of dried nuts and she ate 1/4 lb of dry nuts each day for 6 days
How many pounds of dried nuts did Terra have left after 6 days
Tara had 1 and 5/8 lb of dried nuts, which is equivalent to 13/8 lbs. She ate 1/4 lb of dried nuts each day for 6 days, so she consumed a total of 6 * 1/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 lbs.
To find out how many pounds of dried nuts Tara had left after 6 days, we need to subtract the amount she consumed from the initial amount she had:
13/8 - 3/2
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8:
13/8 - 3/2 = 13/8 - 12/8 = 1/8
Therefore, after 6 days, Tara had 1/8 lb of dried nuts left.
