Explanation:

Nicole is cooking cookies recipe calls for 5 cups of flour she has already put in three 1/3 cups how many more cups does she need to put in?

We solve the above question using Subtraction operation

The number of cups she still needs to put in =

5 cups - 3 1/3 cups

= 5 - 3 1/3

= 5/1 - 10/3

The Lowest Common Denominator = 3

= 15 - 10/3

= 5/3

= 1 2/3 cups of flour
