Question

Marcy 's flour jar had 7/8 cup of flour in it. She scooped out 2/4 cup into a mixing bowl. How much flour is left in the flour jar?

Answer 1

3/8 cups

Explanation:

We need to subtract 2/4 from 7/8 to get the amount left:

7/8-2/4=7/8-4/8 (you have to have a common denominator to add/subtract)=3/8 cups

3/8 cups of flour is left in the flour jar
