Answer 1

Given,

Steven eats 5 2/4 ounces of a chocolate bar weighing a total of 16 ounces.

To find: How much of the chocolate bar is still left?

Solution:

Steven eats 5 2/4 ounces of chocolate.

$5\frac{2}{4}=\frac{22}{4}$

Now, the total of 16 ounces. Hence, the left choco bars are

$\begin{gathered} 16-\frac{22}{4}=\frac{64-22}{4} \\ =\frac{42}{4} \\ =\frac{21}{2} \\ =10\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the answer in mixed numbers is

$10\frac{1}{2}$
