Cheryl is baking cookies for the bake sale. she buys 5 packages of chocolate chips, each with 1 3/5 cups in them. while baking, she uses 4 2/5 of chocolate chips. how many cups does she have left? (14 points)

5 x 1 3/5 = 8 cups

8 minus 4 2/5 equals 3 3/5 cup left

Total packaged purchased (5) multiplied by amount in each package (1 3/5), then subtract amount used (4 2/5).

=(5 * 1 3/5) - 4 2/5
=(5 * 8/5) - 22/5
=((5*8)/5) - 22/5
=40/5 - 22/5
=18/5
= 3 3/5 cups chips left

Check:
Total purchased=5 * 1 3/5 = 8

Amount used + Amount left=
=3 3/5 + 4 2/5= 8

Hope this helps! :)

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer

The first option would be correct if it were one half and not one
