Question

Luna mixes 3/4 cup of orange juice with 3/8 cup of cranberry juice. She gives 5/8 cup of the juice to Mags.How much is left in Luna’s glass?

Answer 1

First of all, how much juice is there?

$\frac{3}{4} \: cup \: = \frac{6}{8}$

So, $\frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{8}$

Then, $\frac{9}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{4}{8}$

Therefore, $\frac{4}{8}$ of juice is left in Luna's glass.

Hope this helps!!! ;)

Answer 2

4/8 is left in her glass.

Step 1–find the common denominator (which is 8)

Step 2–multiply 3/4 times 2 which will give you 6/8

Step 3– Add 6/8 and 3/8 which will give you an improper fraction of 9/8

Step 4–Subtract 5/8 from 9/8

Therefore your answer is 4/8
