Answer:

[tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

remaining cups = total cups - used caps

let remaining cups be = x

     total cups = y = 8

      used cups = z= [tex]6\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Hence x = y-z

x = 8 - [tex]6\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{8}{1}[/tex]  - [tex]\frac{33}{5}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{40-33}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex] = [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

x= [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Remaining cups = [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
