Q. Ben wants to try a new honey-glazed salmon recipe. He starts with

1\frac{2}{3}

cups of honey. He uses

\frac{1}{5}

of it to make the glaze. How much honey does Ben have left?

\newline

Write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

\newline

____ cups

\newline

Calculate honey for glaze: Calculate how much honey Ben uses for the glaze. Multiply the total honey by the fraction used for the glaze: $1 \frac{2}{3}$ cups $\times \frac{1}{5}$ . Convert $1 \frac{2}{3}$ to an improper fraction: $1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ . Now, $\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$ cup used for the glaze.
Subtract honey used: Subtract the amount of honey used from the total to find out how much is left. Start with $1\frac{2}{3}$ cups and subtract $\frac{1}{3}$ cup: $1\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$ . Convert $1\frac{2}{3}$ to an improper fraction again: $1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ . Now, $\frac{5}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$ . Convert $\frac{4}{3}$ back to a mixed number: $\frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}$ cups left.
