Answer :
Answer: 2 ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
16 ounce of the box is shared by Sue and Bill
Sue has eaten [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of the box
Bill has eaten [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the box
total cereal eaten by them is
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]
So, they have eaten this much of the box. Amount left in the box is
[tex]\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{7}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
In ounce it is
[tex]\Rightarrow 16\times \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow 2\ \text{ounce}[/tex]
