Answer:
17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
3% of 2000 = 60
3000-200 = 1000
1000 ÷ 60= 16.6666666667
Round to the nearest whole number: 17
When two fractions have the same denominator, you can compare which fraction is greater by just comparing the numerators.
For example, if you have 2/5 and 3/5, the denominators are the same. So you can just look at the numerators. 3 is greater than 5, so 3/5 is greater than 2/5.
The reasoning to this is that the two numbers are divided by the same number (5), so you can compare the original numbers (numerators).

Flour: 2 3/4 cups = 11/4
11/4 * 2 = 22/4 = 5 2/4 cups
Sugar: 1 1/2 cups = 3/2
3/2 = 6/4 = 1 2/4 cups
1 2/4 * 2 = 3 cups
So it *should* be 8 1/2 cups.
