Fabricio stores 4 3/4 tons of hay in his barn. He uses 2/3 of the hay to feed his animals. How much hay is left in his barn?

Answer 1

We change 4 3/4 into an improper fraction:

19/4

If he uses 2/3, then he has 1/3 left, so to find the answer we multiply by 1/3.

19/4 * 1/3

19/12

Then we change this improper fraction back into a mixed number:

1 7/12 tons of hay
