Answer:

[tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{1}{8}[/tex] wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

A deli ordered [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex] wheels of cheese.

Over the weekend [tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{29}{8}[/tex] wheels of cheese we're sold.

On Tuesday [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] of cheese we're sold.

Total cheese sold in these days = [tex]\frac{29}{8} +\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{29+14}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{43}{8}[/tex]

Now cheese left for Wednesday = [tex]\frac{13}{2} -\frac{43}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{52-43}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{1}{8}[/tex] wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.
