Shayla is baking muffins that require 1/2 cube of vegetable oil. She only has 1/3 cup left. How much more does she need?

She needs 1/6 what you do is find a common denominator, Which equals 6 and then subtract 1/2 by 1/3 and you get 1/6.So she needs 1/6 cube or vegetable oil :)

=The lcm of 2 and 3 is 6;

(3-2)/(6)
