Question

Gina wants to make muffins. The recipe for blueberry muffins calls for 2 3/4 cups of flour. The recipe for cornmeal muffins calls for 1 2/3 cups of flour. How many more cups of flour would Gina need for blueberry muffins than corn muffins?

Answer 1

1 1/12

Explanation:

You take 2 3/4 and subtract it by 1 2/3

Make them into improper fractions 11/4 - 5/3

you multiply 11/4 by 3 and 5/3 by 4 to get a common denominator

you get 33/12 - 20/12 and get 13/12

then make it a mixed number

hope this helps :)
