Question

Glenn made a loaf of banana nut bread for a picnic. He used 1/2 cup fewer nuts than in the recipe. If the recipe called for 5/6 cup of nuts, what amount of nuts did Glenn use?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of nuts used by Glenn is:

1/3 cup of nuts

Explanation:

Given that:

Nuts in Recipe = 5/6

Glenn used nuts = 1/2 cups fewer nuts than in recipe

Glenn used nuts = 5/6 - 1/2

Glenn used nuts =  (10-6) / 12

Glenn used nuts =  4 / 12

Glenn used nuts =  1/3 cup
