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 the rest of the day. Write your answer in fraction form only.
Let x be the amount of food Kendall gives her cat the rest of the day.
Given:
Total amount of food = 4/5 cup
Amount of food in the evening = 1/2 cup
Equation:
x + 1/2 = 4/5
Solving for x:
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.
