Gina and Glen share a 24-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Gina has used 5/8
of the bucket, and Glen has used

1/4
of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

3 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4=2/8

5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8

7/8 = x/24

8x3= 24

7x3=21

24-21=3

3 ounces remain

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 + 1/4 = ?

5/8 + 2/8 = ? (find common denominators)

= 7/8 of the bucket

7/8 = ?/24 (trying to find how many ounces is 7/8 of the bucket)

7/8 = 21/24 (multiple 7 with 3)

24 - 21 = ? (trying to find how many ounces are left)

= 3 ounces

is it i think

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
