Answer 14

Ok I got a problem
?

fraction 2 over 6, because fraction 2 over 3 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 6 equals fraction 2 over 3 minus fraction 3 over 6
fraction 2 over 6, because fraction 2 over 3 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 6 equals fraction 2 over 3 minus fraction 2 over 6
fraction 1 over 6, because fraction 2 over 3 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 6 equals fraction 2 over 3 minus fraction 3 over 6
fraction 1 over 6, because fraction 2 over 3 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 6 equals fraction 2 over 3 minus fraction 2 over 6

Answer 16

2/6...because 2/3 - (2 * 1/6) = 2/3 - 2/6 ....its B

Answer 17

Ok thanks

Answer 18

2/3 - 2/6 = 4/6 - 2/6 = 2/6 which rounds to 1/3....so basically, when rounded, he has 1/3 cup of ice cream left
