4.5 cups = 9/2 cups
9/2 - 1/2 = 8/2 cups
Answer: 8/2 cups
9/2 - 1/2 = 8/2 cups
Answer: 8/2 cups
According to the information given, she feeds her cat a total of 4:5 cup of food every day. This can be written as the equation:
1/2 + x = 4/5
To solve for x, we can start by subtracting 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 10. So, we can rewrite the equation as:
x = (4/5)(2/2) - (1/2)(5/5)
= 8/10 - 5/10
Now, subtract the numerators:
x = (8 - 5)/10
= 3/10
Therefore, Kendall gives her cat 3/10 cups of food for the rest of the day.
Let's assume the amount of food Kendall gives the cat the rest of the day is represented by the unknown variable x. We can write the equation:
Total daily amount - Evening amount = Rest of the day amount
4/5 - 1/2 = x
To solve this equation, we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 2, which is 10. We can rewrite the equation with the common denominator:
8/10 - 5/10 = x
Now we can subtract the fractions:
3/10 = x
Therefore, Kendall gives 3/10 cup of food to her cat for the rest of the day.
