Lewis Bryan · Answer 1

7/8 - x = 1/6

7/8 - 1/6 = - x

42/48 - 8/48 = - x

(34/48) = - x

-34/48 = x

-34/48 = - 17/24

17/24 gallons of the juice was consumed from Thursday to Friday.

Clare Summers · Answer 2

First you need to get the same denominator

7/8 is equal to 21/24

1/6 is equal to 4/24

twenty one minus four is 17/24 which is the amount of juice that was drank.
