A restaurant's small salt shakers contain 0.6 ounces of salt. It's large shakers hold twice as much. The shakers are filled from a container that has 18.6 ounces of salt. If 8 large shakers are filled, how many small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt?

First you have to multiply the 0.6 of the small shakers times two which gives us 1.2 the amount of salt of the large shakers. divide the 18.6 by 1.2 which is 15.5 the amount going into the 8 shakers. Then subtract 15.5 from 18.6 which gives us 3.1. Then you divide that by 0.6 = 5. 5 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.

Its 0.12 than you have 0 6.4 remaining salt
