Question

Tyrone had some milk. He used 1 ⅙ cups of milk to make hot chocolate. Now, Tyrone has 3 ⅓ cup of milk. How much milk did Tyrone have to start?

Answer 1

4 1/2 cups of milk

Explanation:

To find the answer, we need to add what we used with what we have left over.

This equation would be:

1 1/6 + 3 1/3 = ?

to properly add 1/6 and 1/3, we change the 1/3 to 2/6:

1 1/6 + 3 2/6 = 4 3/6

Simplify:

4 1/2 cups of milk
