At a local Walmart store, a Coke dispenser held191 gallons of soda. During working hours,12gallons were dispensed. How many gallons of Coke remain?Coke remaining

Respuesta :

initially, the dispenser held

[tex]19\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

and it dispensed

[tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

the remaining gallons are:

[tex]R=19\frac{1}{4}-12\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Now, let's solve this

[tex]\begin{gathered} R=18\frac{5}{4}-12\frac{3}{4}=(18-12)+(\frac{5}{4}-\frac{3}{4})=6+\frac{2}{4} \\ R=6\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

so the remaining soda is 6+1/2

[tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
