Answer :
After Bruce drinks 1/5th of the water, the amount of water left is [tex]6\frac{2}{5}[/tex] ounces.
What is a fraction?
A fraction describes part of something to the total quantity.
Given a bottle is 1/2 full that can contain 16 ounces of water.
∴ The bottle has (1/2)×16 = 8 ounces of water.
Bruce drinks 1/5 of it which is,
= (1/5)×8 ounces.
= 8/5 ounces.
So, the amount of water left in the bottle is (8 - 8/5) ounces.
= (40 - 8)/5 ounces.
= 32/5 ounces.
= [tex]6\frac{2}{5}[/tex] ounces of water are left.
