Question

Yupin is making fruit punch. The recipe calls for 2 ½ of guava juice. The guava juice container has 4 ¼ cups of juice in it. How many cups of guava will be left in the container after Yupin makes the punch?

Answer 1

1
`(3)/(4)` cups

Explanation:

Convert the numbers to decimals, then subtract the amount needed from the amount in the juice container:

4.25 - 2.5

= 1.75

This is equivalent to the fraction 1
`(3)/(4)`

So, after Yupin makes the punch, there will be 1
`(3)/(4)` cups of guava juice left in the container
