What is a Mixed Fraction?

A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator. A mixed fraction can be converted as,

2 1/2

= (2×2 + 1)/2

= 5/2

= 2.5

Samantha started with 201 3/5 cups of soup. Therefore, the total soup at starting with Samantha is,

Total soup = 201 3/5 cups

                  = (201×5 + 3)/5 cups

                  = 1008/5 cups

                  = 201.6 cups

Samantha handed out 42 bowls in one hour that each holding 1 1/5 cups of soup in one hour. Therefore, the number of cups of Soup that Samantha had distributed in an hour till now is,

Number of cups distributed in an hour = 42 bowls × 1 1/5 cups per bowl

                                                                = 42 bowls × (6/5) cups per bowl

                                                                = 252/5 cups

                                                                = 50.4 cups

Further,  the number of cups of Soup that Samantha will distribute in 4 hours will be,

Number of cups distributed in 4 hours = 50.4 cups × 4

                                                                = 201.6 cups

Further, the total amount of soup that is left with Samantha after 4 hours is,

Soup Left = 201.6 cups - 201.6

                =  0 cups

Hence, the amount of soup that Samantha will have leftover if she keeps handing out the same amount of soup for a total of four hours is 0 cups.
