If you used 1/5 then that mean you have 4/5 remaining.
4/5 x 6 pounds = 24/5 pounds left = 4.8 pounds left

1. If you use 1/5 of the flour then you have 4/5 of the flour remaining. 2. Turn the 6lb into a fraction by putting it over 1. 3. Multiply 6/1 x 4/5 = 24/5 4. Simplify to 4 and 4/5lbs of flour03/14/19
