Question

Shannon went to the candy store and bought 6 1/5 pounds of candy. If 5/6 of Shannon‘s candy was chocolate, how many pounds of chocolate candy did Shannon buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 11/30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/5=31/5

= 31/5 - 5/6    (LCM=30)

= 186/30 - 25/30

= 161/30

= 5 11/30 pounds.
