Answer asap and if you do you will get brainliest. catherine buys a gallon of ice cream from the store. after taking it home, she eats a fifth of a gallon of ice cream. her sister eats some of the ice cream as well. if two-thirds of the original amount of ice cream is left, then what fraction of a gallon of ice cream did her sister eat?

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

Consider the relationship:

.

That is:

.

Add to both sides of this equation:

Substract from both sides:

.

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to

.

.

In other words, Catherine's sister ate gallons of the ice cream.

To solve this, we need to add the 1/5 of the ice cream to the 2/3 left of ice cream to find out how much her sister ate.

First, we need a common denominator. We can multiply 3 by 5 to get a common denominator easiest, since they are both multiples of it.

3*5=15

Now multiply the numerators by the amount the denominators were multiplied by.

1*3=3 so 3/15

2*5=10 so 10/15

Now, add them together.

10/15+3/15= 13/15.

Finally, subtract that amount from the original full amount of ice cream (15/15) to get the amount her sister ate, since that is the only unknown value left.

15/15-13/15=2/15.

Because 15 isn’t divisible by 2, we can’t simplify this fraction anymore.

Her sister ate 2/15 of a gallon of ice cream.

Hope this helps!
