Question

Yupin is making fruit punch. The recipe calls for 2 ½ of guava juice. The guava juice container has 4 ¼ cups of juice in it. How many cups of guava will be left in the container after Yupin makes the punch?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 $\frac{3}{4}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the numbers to decimals, then subtract the amount needed from the amount in the juice container:

4.25 - 2.5

= 1.75

This is equivalent to the fraction 1$\frac{3}{4}$

So, after Yupin makes the punch, there will be 1$\frac{3}{4}$ cups of guava juice left in the container
