Question

Dakota makes a salad dressing by combining 6 1/3 fluid ounces of oil and 2 3/8 fluid ounces of vinegar in a jar. She then pours 2 1/4 fluid ounces of the dressing onto Her salad. How much dressing remains in the jar?

Answer 1

6 1/3 +2 3/8 = 17/24 so you have to subtract it from the 2 1/4 fluid to know the amount of dressing remaining and your answer should be negative which is -37/24.
