Question

sofie and josh made 17 ounces of dough. they used 5/8 of the dough to make a pizza and used the rest to make calzones. what is the difference between the anount of dough they used to make pizza and the amount of dough they used to make calzones?

Answer 1

I think that the difference would be that you probably multiply the whole number with the fraction. for example, add a 1 to the bottom of the whole number. I'm not that sure for real

Answer 2

Answer=4.25 ounces or 4 1/4 ounces

17 ounces of dough

Amount used for pizza=17*5/8=10.625ounces

Amount used for calzones=17*3/8=6.375 ounces

amount used for pizza- amount used for calzones=
10.625-6.375=4.25ounces
