Question

Max needs 10 1/4 cups of flour to make a batch of pizza dough for the pizzeria. He only has 4 1/2 cups of flour. How much more flour does he need to make the dough?

Can someone please answer!!!

Answer 1

max needs 5 3/4 cups of flour more to make the dough

Answer 2

5 3/4

Explanation:

What I did is turn the mixed numbers into a fraction which was:

10 1/4 = 10.25

and

4 1/2= 4.50

now do 10.25 - 4.50 which equals 5 3/4

hope this helped!!!! =)
