Jason had 3/4 pound of salami. He used 1/3 pound for sandwiches.

How many pounds of salami does he have left?

A.

lb 1/4

B.

lb 1/3

C.

lb 5/12

D.

lb 1/2

Jason had ¾ pound of Salami.

He used 1/3 of it for sandwhich, now find the number of pound of salami left.

=> ¾ - 1/3

=> ¾ - 1/3, since the given equation contains different denomination, find the least common denominator

=> so the LCD is 12

=> ¾ - 1/3 = 9/12 - 4/12

=> 9/12 - 4/12

=> 5/12

Thus, the answer is letter C. 5/12 pounds is left to Jason’s Salami.
