Question

Stephen had 4 cupcakes. He ate 3/4 of one cupcake. How many does he have now?

Answer 1

He has 3.25 (
`3(1)/(4)`) cupcakes left

Explanation:

Stephen starts with 4 cupcakes

If he eats
`(3)/(4)` of 1 cupcake, he will have
`(1)/(4)` of said cupcake left

`1-(3)/(4) =(1)/(4)`

Since he has 3 other cupcakes, we will add the remaining
`(1)/(4)` of the other cupcake to the total.

`3+(1)/(4) =3(1)/(4)`

Hope this helped!
