Question

Javier filled a measuring cup with 2/3 of a cup of vegetable oil. Then he poured 1/3 of a cup

of the oil into a frying pan. How much oil is left in the measuring cup?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

1/3 is your answer

Explanation:

2/3-1/3=1/3

Answer 2

1/3

Explanation:

you have to subtract 1/3 from 2/3.

It would have been different if the question asked for taking away 1/3 of how much the cup was filled, though.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
