Question

Carol had 9/12 of a container of milk for the french toast she was cooking. She poured 2/3 of the container into the pan. How much milk was still in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12 of the container of milk will be left in the container

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we first note the variables

Volume of milk available = 9/12 of a container

Volume of milk poured in a pan = 2/3 of a container

Quantity of milk left = Initial quantity of milk less the quantity poured out

That is 9/12-2/3 = 1/12 of the container of milk

This means that there will be only 1/12 of the container of milk left
