Respuesta :

Answer:

The flour left with her = 13 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Flour in the container = 15 3/4 cups = 63/4

Flour used to make bread = 2 1/4 cups = 9/4

The flour left with her = (63/4) - (9/4)

                                    = (63 - 9)/4

                                    = 54/4 = 27/2

                                    = 13 1/2 cups

    OR

The flour left with her    = 15 3/4 - 2 1/4

                                       = (15 - 2 ) +  (3/4 - 1/4)

                                         = 13 + (2/4)

                                         = 13 + (1/2)

                                         = 13 1/2 cups
