Question

After a blizzard, Zeke shovels snow from the sidewalk in front of his house. The sidewalk is
20 1/2 yards long. Before breakfast, Zeke shovels 1/4 of the sidewalk. How many yards are left
for Zeke to shovel after breakfast?

Answer 1

15 3/8

If Zeke has already shoveled 1/4 of the sidewalk, that means he has 3/4 left. Now you just have to find 3/4 of 20 1/2, which is 15 3/8.
