Question

A cupcake recipe calls for 3/6 cups of milk, and you have cups of milk in the 5/8 refrigerator. How many cups of milk will you have remaining after baking the cupcakes ?

Answer 1

After using 1/2 cup of milk from the 5/8 cups available to make cupcakes, there will be 1/8 cup of milk remaining in the refrigerator.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many cups of milk will remain after making the cupcakes, we need to subtract the amount of milk used in the recipe from the total amount of milk available. The recipe calls for 3/6 cups of milk (which simplifies to 1/2 cup of milk), and there are 5/8 cups of milk in the refrigerator. First, simplify 3/6 to 1/2:

• 3/6 = 1/2 cups of milk (used in the recipe)

Now, subtract the amount of milk used from the total amount:

• 5/8 cups (available) - 1/2 cups (used) = 5/8 - 4/8 = 1/8 cups remaining

Therefore, after baking the cupcakes, you will have 1/8 cup of milk remaining.
