Question

I set a goal to drink 64 ounces of water day.If i drink 10 1/3 ounces in the morning,15 1/2 ounces at noon,and 20 5/6 at dinner how many more ounces of water do I have to drink to reach my goal

Answer 1

First find how much you've had. Make the fractions with similar denominaters: 1/3(2)=2/6, 1/2(3)=3/6, 5/6(1)=5/6. Now add the fractions: 2/6+3/6+5/6=10/6 or 1 4/6 or 1 2/3. Then add the whole numbers: 10+15+20+1=46. So you've had 46 2/3 oz now subtract that from how much you need: 64-46 2/3= 63 3/3-46 2/3=17 1/3. You still need 17 1/3 water :)
