EXPLANATION:
Given;
We are told that Jemiyah bought x pounds of broccoli. She ate 3/4 of a pound.
Required;
We are required to write an expression that shows how much she has left.
Step-by-step solution;
The total amount of items is given as x. If Jemiyah consumes 3/4 of a pound, we will subtract this from the total bought. The result will represent the amount leftover.
Therefore, we would have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} Total\text{ }bought-amount\text{ }eaten=leftover \\ \\ x-(\frac{3}{4}\div\frac{x}{1})=leftover \\ \\ x-(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{x})=leftover \\ \\ x-\frac{3}{4x}=leftover \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the expression that represents her leftover would be;
ANSWER:
[tex]x-\frac{3}{4x}[/tex]
