Shawn filled a bucket with 5 1/4 gallons of water. A few minutes later, he realized only 1 1/3 gallons of water remained. How much water had leaked out of the bucket?
Answer: 3 11/12 Explanation: convert the fractions 1/4 and 1/3 to fractions with a denominator of 12. Your fractions become 3/12 and 4/12. Subtract 4/12 from 5 3/12 and get 4 11/12. Subtract one and get 3 11/12.
