Math Problem Statement

Isabel has 9/10 kilogram of oranges. She ate 2/10 kilogram. How much of a kilogram remains?

Solution

It appears that the question is asking how much of a kilogram of oranges remains after Isabel eats a portion of them.

Given:

  • Isabel has 910\frac{9}{10} kilogram of oranges.
  • She ate 210\frac{2}{10} kilogram of oranges.

To find out how much is left, we subtract the amount eaten from the total amount:

910210=9210=710\frac{9}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{9 - 2}{10} = \frac{7}{10}

So, 710\frac{7}{10} kilograms of oranges remain.
