Question

marty has 1 1/3 jugs of apple juice. he uses 3/4 of the juice to make freeze pops. what fraction amount of a jus doe marty have?

Answer 1

He has 1/3 of a jug left.

Explanation:

He starts with 1 1/3 jugs.

He uses 3/4 of 1 1/3 jugs.

A full amount is 1 or 4/4. If he uses 3/4, he has 1/4 left since

1 - 3/4 = 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4

That means he has 1/4 of 1 1/3 jugs left.

We need to multiply 1/4 by 1 1/3.

1/4 * 1 1/3 =

= 1/4 * 4/3

= 4/12

= 1/3

Answer: He has 1/3 of a jug left.
