Question

With the remaining 3/4 gallon of honey, Lila decided to bake some loaves of bread and several batches of cookies for her school bake sale. The bread needed 1/6 gallon of honey and the cookies needed 1/4 gallon. How much honey was left over?

Answer 1

Find the least common denominator for all fractions: 12

3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
1/6 = (1*2)/(6*2)
1/4 = (1*3)/(4*3)

Take the converted fractions to have the honey used taken away from the original total.
