Tara initially had 1 5/8 pounds of dried nuts. She ate 1/4 pound of dried nuts each day for 6 days, which is a total of 1 1/2 pounds (1/4 * 6 = 1 1/2).
To find out how many pounds of dried nuts Tara had left, we need to subtract the total amount she ate from the initial amount she had:
1 5/8 - 1 1/2 = 13/8 - 6/4 = 13/8 - 12/8 = 1/8
Therefore, Tara had 1/8 pound of dried nuts left after eating 1/4 pound each day for 6 days.
