We have both of the values of the dozen of doughnuts 5/6 of a dozen blueberry and 1/4 dozen pumpkin. In order to determine how many more blueberry muffins Min has, we have to set the denominators to be the same number. To do this we need a common denominator. The least common denominator between 6 and 4 is 12. We multiply the top and bottom of the fraction 5/6 by 2 to get 10/12. We then multiply 1/4 by 3 to get 3/12. 10-3 = 7, therefore Min has 7/12 more blueberry muffins
The absolute value function prevents the expression from being a polynomial. The degree of 3 in y^3 is an odd number so that polynomial function will not be even.
