Question

The recipe for the cupcakes John is making needs 3/4-cup of flour for one batch of cupcakes. Unfortunately, John only has 2/3-cup of flour on hand. How many batches of cupcakes would John be able to make for the party? Pls answer

Answer 1

3/4 vs 2/3

6/12 = 3/4
8/12= 2/3
8/12 - 6/12 = 2/12
2/12 = 1/6
John would be able to make one batch of cupcakes with 1/6 cup of flour left over.
