Answer:
Omar had 3 cups of cornmeal left.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of cups of cornmeal Omar had was 5.
Omar used [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups for 6 corn muffins.
There are four 6 corn muffins in 24 corn muffins.
Therefore Omar used [tex]4\times \frac{1}{2} =2[/tex] cups of corn meal to make 24 corn muffins.
We subtract [tex]2[/tex] from [tex]5[/tex] to get the number of cups left.
The number of cups of corn meal left is [tex]5-2=3[/tex]
