Question

Stacy is measuring milk to make pancake batter. The recipe calls for \dfrac{3}{4} 4 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 4, end fraction of a jug of milk. She has \dfrac{1}{4} 4 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction of a jug now. How much more milk does she need?

Answer 1

1/2 cup of milk

Explanation:

Given

Total cup of milk needed = 3/4 cup of milk

Amount she has = 1/4 cup of milk

The amount of milk she needed = Total - Amount she has

Amount she needed = 3/4 - 1/4

Amount she needed = (3-1)/4

Amount she needed = 2/4

Amount she needed = 1/2

Hence she needs 1/2 cup of milk more
