Benjamin bought two pounds of strawberries for $12.80. What is the price, in dollars per ounce of strawberries?

To find out how much potato salad was left for an afternoon snack, we need to subtract the amount that McTugg ate for lunch from the total amount of potato salad he bought.

1/2 pound - 2/3 pound = ?

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) for 2 and 3 is 6, so we'll express the fractions with a denominator of 6.

1/2 pound = 3/6 pound
2/3 pound = 4/6 pound

Now we can subtract the two fractions:

3/6 pound - 4/6 pound = (3 - 4)/6 pound = -1/6 pound

Oops! We got a negative result, which means that there wasn't enough potato salad left for an afternoon snack. McTugg actually ate more than he bought.

(1/3) * (1/2) = _______ pound

No, that would not be acurite 1/2 * 2/3 would give an outcome of 2/6 or 1/3.
