Justin was in a hot dog eating contest. He had to eat the most hot dogs he could in 3 minutes. In the first minute, he ate 4 1/3 hot dogs. In the second, he ate 3 ½. If he ate 10 hot dogs total, how many did he eat in the last minute?

Lets convert these to improper fractions over a common denominator

13/3 First minute

7/2 2nd minute

6 Is LCD

26/6 and 21/6

26/6+21/6=47/6

10 = 60/6

So 60/6-47/6= how many he ate in the last minute

13/6 hotdogs

2 1/6 hotdogs in the last minute
