Question

Preston is making cookies. He has fraction 4 over 5 cups of flour in a bag. He then used two fractions 1 over 10 cup scoops of flour for this recipe. Which of these best explains the amount of flour left in the bag?
fraction 6 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 3 over 10

fraction 5 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 3 over 10

fraction 6 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 2 over 10

fraction 5 over 10 because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 3 over 8

Answer 1

Step 1: 1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10

Step 2: 4/5 - 2/10
GCF: multiply both sides of 4/5 by 2 = 8/10

Step 3: 8/10 - 2-10 = 6/10

ANSWER: C fraction 6 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 2 over 10
