Question

gina made 24 1/4 ounces of lemonade. She sampled 1 1/2 ounces to make sure it was not too sour. how much lemonade is left?

Answer 1

23 3/4 I think........

Answer 2

You simply have to subtract to find how much is left. To do that, you need to have common denominators. So, let's just convert everything into improper fractions:

`24 (1)/(4) = (97)/(4)`

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

Now, let's multiply the second one by 2 to get a common denominator:

`(3)/(2)* (2)/(2) = (6)/(4)`

Now, let's subtract:

`(97)/(4)- (6)/(4) = (91)/(4)`

91 goes into 4 22 and 3/4 times. Also written as:

`22 (3)/(4)`

That's your answer!
