Kendall feeds her cat a total of 4/5 cup of food everyday. She feeds it 1/2 cup of food in the evening. Solve an equation to find how much food she gives to the cat rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives to her cat the rest of the day.
Therefore, the equation would be:
1/2 + x = 4/5
To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation:
x = 4/5 - 1/2
x = 4/5 - 2/5
x = 2/5
Therefore, Kendall gives her cat 2/5 cup of food the rest of the day.
