You have 5/6 a cup of flour in your cupboards. A recipe for bread calls for 1/4 cup of
flour. How much flour would you have left if you made the bread?

Respuesta :

[tex]frac{7}{12}\ cup[/tex] flour will be left if you made the bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Quantity of flour in cup board = [tex]\frac{5}{6}\ of\ a\ cup[/tex]

Quantity used in bread = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\ cup[/tex]

Quantity left = Quantity available - Quantity used in bread

Quantity left = [tex]\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Quantity left = [tex]\frac{20-6}{24}=\frac{14}{24}[/tex]

Quantity left = [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

[tex]frac{7}{12}\ cup[/tex] flour will be left if you made the bread.
