Answer:
[tex]1\frac{7}{10}[/tex] kg of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sugar on Wednesday: [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] kg
Convert the mixed number fraction to an improper fraction (multiply the whole number by the numerator)
[tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]2[/tex]
Therefore, Emila bought 2 kg of sugar on Wednesday.
Because Emila bought [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] kg less sugar on Thursday, subtract [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] from [tex]2[/tex].
[tex]2-\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Convert 2 into a fraction with 10 as the denominator
[tex]=\frac{20}{10} -\frac{3}{10}\\=\frac{17}{10}[/tex]
Convert the fraction into a mixed number
[tex]= 1\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
Therefore, Emila bought [tex]1\frac{7}{10}[/tex] kg of sugar on Thursday.
I hope this helps!
