Question

Liza bought 5/8 pound of trail mix. She gives 2/8 pound of trail mix to michael. How much trail mix does liza have left?

Answer 1

Liza has 3/8 pounds of trail mix left. I just subtracted 5/8-2/8 since they have common denominators you keep the denominator the same and just subtract the numerators, so 5/8-2/8= 3/8 pounds.
