Question

Amy is making a cake that calls for a 5/6 cup of crushed graham crackers. If she had already crushed 1/2 cup, how much more does she need?

Answer 1

Convert 1/2 into 3/6:

`(1)/(2)=(3)/(6)`

Subtract both terms:

`(5)/(6)-(3)/(6)=(2)/(6)`

Simpifly the terms:

`(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`

Final Result: 1/3
