Question

Ronald has 5 2/3 cups of a smoothie he then drank 1 3/4 cups of the smoothie how many cups were left

Answer 1

4 1/6 cups of the smoothie were left.

Explanation:

The LCD here is (3)(4) = 12.

Thus, 5 2/3 cups equals 5 8/12 and 1 3/4 cups equals 1 6/12 cups.

Subtract 1 6/12 cups from the original 5 8/12 cups. We get:

5 8/12

-1 6/12

-----------

4 2/12, or 4 1/6.

4 1/6 cups of the smoothie were left.
