Question

Which of the following would result in the correct amount of sugar?

Answer 1

Given

The sugar needed is 2/3 cups.

The amount of sugar founded is 1/2 cups.

To find the estimation of the remaining sugar needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The needed sugar is 2/3 cups.

The sugar found is 1/2 cups.

Let x the estimated amount.

Then,

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)=(1)/(2)+x \\ x=(2)/(3)-(1)/(2) \\ x=(4-3)/(6) \\ x=(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 1/6.
