Kendall feeds her cat a total of 45 cup of food every day. She feeds it cups 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. (1 point)

cup

\(\frac{3}{4}\) cup

4/5 1/2

The correct answer is \( \frac{7}{10} \) cup.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let me correct this:

Let x be the amount of food Kendall feeds her cat in the evening, then the total amount is 45 cups. We can write this as an equation:

x + \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 45

Subtract \(\frac{3}{4}\) from both sides:

x = 45 - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
x = \(\frac{180}{4}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
x = \(\frac{177}{4}\)
x = \(\frac{177}{4}\)

Therefore, Kendall feeds her cat \( \frac{177}{4} \) cups of food in the evening and \( \frac{177}{4} \) cup of food the rest of the day.
