Question

Diana bought 4.5 kg of flour . She used 1 . 685 kg of the flour to make cakes . How much flour did she have left in kg ( kilo grams )??

(explain)

Answer 1

Let's walk through the steps to solve this problem.

Diana initially had 4.5 kg of flour. After using 1.685 kg, she wants to find out how much flour she has left. What we need to do here is to subtract the amount of flour used from the initial amount.

1) Start with the initial amount of flour, which is 4.5 kg.

2) Subtract the amount of flour Diana used for the cakes, which is 1.685 kg.

When you subtract 1.685 kg from 4.5 kg, you will get the amount of flour left.

Doing so, we find that Diana has 2.815 kg of flour left. So Diana has used 1.685 kg of flour and still has 2.815 kg left.
