Answer:
The fraction of a gallon that will remain in the bowl is 19/30
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let¿'s review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Amount of water Vincent poured into his dog's water bowl = 5/6 of a gallon
Amount of water the dog drank = 0.2 gallon = 2/10 = 1/5
2. What fraction of a gallon of water will remain in the bowl?
Let's find that amount, this way:
Water remains in the bowl = Amount of water Vincent poured into his dog's water bowl - Amount of water the dog drank
Replacing with the values we have:
Water remains in the bowl = 5/6 - 1/5
Water remains in the bowl = 25/30 - 6/30 (30 as Lowest Common Multiple)
Water remains in the bowl = 19/30 gallon
