Question

You have 8 cups of flour a recipe calls for 2/3 cup of flour another recipe calls for 1/4 cup of flour how much flour do you have left after making the recipe

Answer 1

Answer:

7 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

8 = 8/1 = 24/3

24/3 - 2/3 = 22/3

Convert 22/3 and 1/4 to twelvths (or however u spell it):

22/3  x 4/4 = 88/12

1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12

Add:

88/12 + 3/12 = 91/12

Simplify:

91/12 = 7 remainder 7

7 remainder 7 = 7 7/12
