Question

Natalie put 1/3 cup of flour in a bowl. Her sister put another 3/4 cup of flour in the bowl. They need a total of 4 cups of flour in the bowl.

Answer 1

Converting 1/3 to twelfths, we get 4/12. Converting 3/4 to twelfths, we get 9/12.

Adding these fractions together, we have 4/12 + 9/12 = 13/12.

Now, we need to subtract the sum of these fractions from the total amount of flour they need, which is 4 cups.

To convert 4 cups to twelfths, we multiply 4 by 12 to get 48/12.

Subtracting 13/12 from 48/12, we have 48/12 - 13/12 = 35/12.

So, Natalie and her sister still need to put 35/12 cups of flour in the bowl.

Simplifying the fraction, 35/12 is equal to 2 11/12 cups.

Therefore, Natalie and her sister need to put an additional 2 11/12 cups of flour in the bowl.

I really really REALLY HOPE this helps BTW Happy Halloween!

Answer 2

1/3= 4/12 4+9= 13/12=1 1/12 4-1 1/12=2 1/2

3/4= 9/12

Explanation:

If her sister added 4 more 3/4 cups to make the total amount of flour in the bowl 3 3/4 cups all total. Then to make is 4 cups of flour, they will have to add 1/4 more cups of flour.
