1 answer:
Answer:
The first thing to do is to make the denominators of the fractions the same:
16 / 4 = 4. 4 X 3 = 12.
12/16.
16 / 1 = 16. 16 X 1 = 16
16/16
Now you write this out as a fraction equation:
(16/16 - 1/16) / 12/16
15/16 / 12/16
Since all you need to know is the whole number, you can easily tell that 15 / 12 is less than 2.
Therefore, Alex is able to fill one 3/4-point containers with orange butter.
