Respuesta :
let the fluid ounces of water that remain in beaker=x
then,
total fluid ounces of water=water poured+water remaining
so,
water remaining=total water-water poured
x= 5 2/3 - 3 1/3
then,
total fluid ounces of water=water poured+water remaining
so,
water remaining=total water-water poured
x= 5 2/3 - 3 1/3
For this case we have the following data:
- Shelly has a beaker with [tex]5 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] fluid ounces of water.
- She pours out [tex]3 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] fluid ounces of water.
Therefore, the amount of water remaining is given by:
[tex]5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3}[/tex]
Rewriting the expression we have:
[tex]5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3} = 2 \frac {1} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
The expression sought is given by:
[tex]5 \frac {2} {3} -3 \frac {1} {3} = 2 \frac {1} {3}[/tex]
