Given:

Leslie will use more than ½ cup but less than 1 whole cup of flour for a recipe.

Let's find the fraction of a cup Leslie might use.

To find the fraction of a cup Leslie might use, find the fraction that is less than 1 whole and still more than ½.

To find the fraction of a cup Leslie might use, we have the fraction:


(3)/(4)

This is because the fraction, ¾, is less than 1 whole and it is still more than ½.

¾ is ¼ less than 1 whole and ¼ greater than ½

Therefore, the fraction of a cup Leslie might use is ¾

ANSWER:


(3)/(4)
