Question

If a waitress pours 3/4 of a gallon of orange juice, what fraction represents the remaining juice?

a. 1/4
b. 1/2
c. 2/3
d. 1/3

Answer 1

The remaining juice is represented by the fraction 1/4 (option a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction that represents the remaining juice, you need to subtract what was poured from the total. Since the waitress poured 3/4 of a gallon, the remaining juice is 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 of a gallon. So the fraction that represents the remaining juice is 1/4 (option a).
