Question

Carl needs 2 2/3 cups of flour to make a certain cake. He has only 3/8 cup of flour in the pantry. How many more cups of flour does carl needed for the flour

Answer 1

First you want to convert the cups of flour so that they have common denominators:

2 2/3 = 2 16/24
3/8 = 9/24

The subtract! 2 16/24 - 9/24 = 2 7/24 cups
