Ms. Bloom received 2 1/7 bags of chocolate for Valentine's from her class and 5/7 of a bag of chocolates from a few students from last year's class. She shared 1 2/7 with other teachers and took the rest of the chocolate home. How many bags of chocolate did she take home?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 4/7 bags of chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

To see how many bags of chocolate she had before she shared some with the other teachers, we add 2 1/7 and 5/7, which is 2 6/7. When she shared some with the other teachers, it took away from her bags of chocolate. 2 6/7 subtracted by 1 2/7 is 1 4/7.

2 1/7 + 5/7 = 2 6/7

2 6/7 - 1 2/7 = 1 4/7

1 4/7 bags of chocolate (You can also say 1 bag of chocolate, cause technically, you can't cut a bag in half)
