Question

Stephen had 4 cupcakes. He ate 3/4 of one cupcake. How many does he have now?

Answer 1

Answer:

He has 3.25 ($3\frac{1}{4}$) cupcakes left

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephen starts with 4 cupcakes

If he eats $\frac{3}{4}$ of 1 cupcake, he will have $\frac{1}{4}$ of said cupcake left

$1-\frac{3}{4} =\frac{1}{4}$

Since he has 3 other cupcakes, we will add the remaining $\frac{1}{4}$ of the other cupcake to the total.

$3+\frac{1}{4} =3\frac{1}{4}$

Hope this helped!
