max has 3 5/6 pounds of potting soil. She uses 2 3/8 pounds to fill a pot. how many pounds of potting soil does max have left?​

1 11/24 pounds left

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, find the common denominators of the fraction to add them.

A common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.

So, 5*4 = 20  6*4 = 24

3 20/24 of potting soil initially

Then, 3*3 = 9   8*3 = 24

2 9/24 used

To find how many pounds are left:

3 20/24 - 2 9/24 = 1 11/24

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
