Q. A bee colony produced 8.58.5 pounds of honey, but bears ate 5.85.8 pounds of it. How much honey remains?\newline​_____ pounds
  1. Identify Initial Amount: Step 11: Identify the initial amount of honey and the amount consumed by bears.\newlineInitial honey: 8.58.5 pounds\newlineConsumed by bears: 5.85.8 pounds\newlineWe need to subtract the amount eaten by the bears from the initial amount to find out how much honey is left.\newlineCalculation: 8.5−5.88.5 - 5.8
  2. Perform Subtraction: Step 22: Perform the subtraction to find the remaining honey.\newline8.5−5.8=2.78.5 - 5.8 = 2.7\newlineSo, 2.72.7 pounds of honey remains after the bears ate some.
