Kendall seeds are 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
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to the cat during the rest of the day.
Given that Kendall seeds the cat a total of 4/5 cup of food every day, we have the equation:
1/2 + x = 4/5
To solve for x, first subtract 1/2 from both sides:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5
Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 2/5 cup of food for the rest of the day.
Are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. Let's correct the calculation:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/4
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5
Therefore, Kendall gives the cat 2/5 cup of food for the rest of the day. Thank you for catching that mistake.
