Answer:
Charles need [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] more ounces of seeds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Quantity of seeds Charles has = [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] ounces
Quantity of seeds Charles need = [tex]4\frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{5}[/tex] ounces
Let,
x be the number of remaining seeds Charles need.
x = Seeds needed - Seeds Charles already have
x = [tex]\frac{24}{5}-\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{72-24}{15}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{48}{15}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex]
x = [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ounces
Hence,
Charles need [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] more ounces of seeds.
