Question

Samantha is making soup. To make the broth, she combines 2/5 cup of veg stock and 2/3 cup of chicken stock. Boiling the broth causes 1/4 cup of the liquid to evaporate. How much broth is left after it is boiled. Show how you solved

Answer 1

Okay so.
2/5=24/60 (multiply 2/5 by 12)
2/3=40/60 (multiply 2/3 by 20)
1/4=15/60 (multiply 1/4 by 15)
Then,
Add 24/60 with 40/60 which is 64/60 after you get that you subtract by 15/60 and you get 49/60.
Hope this helps!^^
