Answer:

5/9 pounds grapes were left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alice bought grapes =  [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] of a  pound

She ate = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a pound

To find out how many pounds were left, we subtract 1/3 from 8/9

[tex]\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{8-3}{9}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

5/9 pounds grapes were left.
