Question

Aaron filled the bird bath with 64 ounces of water. a group of blue jays came by and drank 5.17 ounces. then a vulture swooped in and drank eleven and four fifths ounces of the water. how much water is left in the bird bath?

Answer 1

The amount of water left in the bird bath is 47.03 ounces.

It is given in the question that:-

Total amount of bird bath = 64 ounces

Amount of water drank by blue jays = 5.17 ounces

Amount of water drank by vulture = 11 (4/5) ounces

We can write the mixed fraction 11(4/5) as 11.8 ounces

We have to find the amount of water left in the bird bath.

We know that,

Water left = Total amount of bird bath - Amount of water drank by blue jays - Amount of water drank by vulture

Hence, by using simple subtraction, we get

Water left = 64 - 5.17 - 11.8 = 47.03 ounces.
