Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The total amount of Sprinkle Chow made is 9169 \frac{1}{6} cups.
2. The co-host eats 3183 \frac{1}{8} cups.
3. The producer eats 4134 \frac{1}{3} cups.
4. We need to find out how much Sprinkle Chow is left.

STEP 2

1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2. Subtract the amounts eaten from the total.
3. Convert the result back to a mixed number if necessary.

STEP 3

Convert 9169 \frac{1}{6} to an improper fraction.
916=556 9 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{55}{6}

STEP 4

Convert 3183 \frac{1}{8} to an improper fraction.
318=258 3 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{25}{8}

STEP 5

Convert 4134 \frac{1}{3} to an improper fraction.
413=133 4 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}

STEP 6

Find a common denominator for the fractions 556\frac{55}{6}, 258\frac{25}{8}, and 133\frac{13}{3}.
The least common denominator is 2424.

STEP 7

Convert 556\frac{55}{6} to a fraction with a denominator of 2424.
556=22024 \frac{55}{6} = \frac{220}{24}

STEP 8

Convert 258\frac{25}{8} to a fraction with a denominator of 2424.
258=7524 \frac{25}{8} = \frac{75}{24}

STEP 9

Convert 133\frac{13}{3} to a fraction with a denominator of 2424.
133=10424 \frac{13}{3} = \frac{104}{24}

STEP 10

Subtract the amounts eaten from the total.
22024752410424=2207510424=4124\frac{220}{24} - \frac{75}{24} - \frac{104}{24} = \frac{220 - 75 - 104}{24} = \frac{41}{24}

STEP 11

Convert 4124\frac{41}{24} back to a mixed number.
4124=11724 \frac{41}{24} = 1 \frac{17}{24}
The amount of Sprinkle Chow left for you to take home is:
11724 cups\boxed{1 \frac{17}{24} \text{ cups}}
