Question

Omar had 5 cups of cornmeal he made 24 corn muffins how many cups of cornmeal did he have left using 1/2 cup for 6 muffins

Answer 1

Omar had 3 cups of cornmeal left.

Explanation:

The number of cups of cornmeal Omar had was 5.

Omar used
`(1)/(2)` cups for 6 corn muffins.

There are four 6 corn muffins in 24 corn muffins.

Therefore Omar used
`4* (1)/(2) =2` cups of corn meal to make 24 corn muffins.

We subtract
`2` from
`5` to get the number of cups left.

The number of cups of corn meal left is
`5-2=3`
