Given:
¾ pound of dry ice
Determine how much dry ice is used if only ⅓ was used in the experiment.
Solution:
To simply determine how much pound of dry ice was used, we simply convert the fractions into decimal.
¾ = 0.75
⅓ = 0.3333
Subtract the given values.
= 0.75 - 0.333
= 0.417 lb left
The question is quite tricky, but the answer is already stated in the question itself. You've only used ⅓ lb of dry ice.
