Question

a recipe for cookies calls for 10 1/6 cups of sugar. krystal has already put in 4 2/3 cups. how many more cups does she need to put in

Answer 1

Answer:

5 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

10 1/6 = $\frac{61}{6} cups$

10 x 6 + 1

$\frac{61}{6}$

4 2/3 = $\frac{14}{3} cups$

4 x 3 + 2

$\frac{14}{3}$

Find a common denominator (6)

$\frac{14}{3} = \frac{28}{6}$

$\frac{14}{3}$ · 2 = $\frac{28}{6}$

$\frac{61}{6} - \frac{28}{6} = \frac{33}{6}$

$\frac{33}{6}$ or 5 1/2 cups
