Question

Sarah made 2 3/4 cup of lemonade she drank 1 and 1/2 cups for lunch how much lemonade does she have left ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/4 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the mixed fractions regular fractions by multiplying the outside number by the denominator and then adding it to the numerator. For example

2 3/4

2 * 4 = 8 + 3 = 11

2 3/4 = 11/4

You should get 3/2 for how much she drank.

Now make sure your denominators are the same. Multiply both the numerator and denominator of the amount she drank by two to get 6/4

Then subtract the fractions.

11/4 - 6/4 = 5/4

Now make that into a mixed fraction.

She has 1 1/4 cup left

Answer 2

Answer: 1 1/4 cup left
