A cookie recipe calls for 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.Spencer has 2/3 cup. Does he have enough?If your answer is yes ,explain.If your answer is no, how much more does Spencer need?
So, we find a common denominator for the two fractions:
2/3 = 8/12, and 3/4 = 9/12.
To determine if Spencer has enough chocolate chips for the cookie recipe, we need to compare the amount called for in the recipe (3/4 cup) with the amount he has (2/3 cup).
The first step is to find a common denominator for 4 and 3, which is 12. Then, we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12:
3/4 cup = (3/4) * (3/3) = 9/12 cup
2/3 cup = (2/3) * (4/4) = 8/12 cup
Since 9/12 is greater than 8/12, Spencer does not have enough chocolate chips for the recipe. Now we need to calculate how much more he needs.
To find how much more Spencer needs, we can subtract the amount he has (8/12 cup) from the amount required (9/12 cup):
9/12 cup - 8/12 cup = 1/12 cup
Therefore, Spencer needs an additional 1/12 cup of chocolate chips to have enough for the cookie recipe.
Multiply both of the fractions to make the denominators the same. For example
2/3 *4/4 and 3/4 * 3/3.
