Respuesta :
you need common denominators so change 1/2 to 4/8
then 4/8-3/8=
1/8 of a pound left
then 4/8-3/8=
1/8 of a pound left
Total pound of candy with Noah = [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Total pound of candy eaten by his friends = [tex] \frac{3}{8} [/tex] of [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
Pound of candy left with Noah = [tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{8-3}{16} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{5}{16} [/tex] pound
Therefore, [tex] \frac{5}{16} [/tex] pound of candy is left with Noah.
