Question

Janissa bought 50 cupcake cases for baking. She used 2/5 of the cases to bake vanilla cupcakes. She then used 5/6 of the remaining cases to bake chocolate cupcakes. How many cupcake cases does Janissa have left?

Answer 1

Jessica has 5 cupcake cases left.

First, divide 50 into groups of five. Next, subtract two groups of five from 50. Third, divide the remaining cases into groups of six. Finally, subtract 5 groups of six from the remains from the last subtraction equation.
