Question

3. Marisol made 12 cups of party mix. She gave 3 cups to her mother and 3 cups to her grandmother. How much party mix did Marisol have left for herself? 3 cups ( 6 7 cups 4 cups 6 cups

Answer 1

We will have the following:

$12-2(3\frac{3}{4})=12-2(\frac{12}{4}+\frac{3}{4})$$=12-2(\frac{15}{4})=\frac{9}{2}$$=4\frac{1}{2}$

So, she will have 4 & 1/2 cups.
