Answer:

67/12 cups of rice

Explanation:

We Know

Jayden has 8 5/6 cups of rice.

8 5/6 = 53/6

He uses 3 1/4 cups to make dinner.

3 1/4 = 13/4

How many cups of rice does Jayden have left?

We Take

53/6 - 13/4 = 212/24 - 78/24 = 134/24 = 67/12

So, Jayden has 67/12 cups of rice left.

5/6 ➜ 10/12

1/4 ➜ 3/12
