JoJo had 1/12
cups of sugar. She used 3/4
cup for her cookies. How much does she have left?
To find out how much sugar JoJo has left, we need to subtract the amount she used for cookies from the amount she had initially:
1/12 cups - 3/4 cups = (1/12)*(2/2) - 3/4 = 2/24 - 18/24 = -16/24
Since the result is a negative fraction, it means that JoJo doesn't have any sugar left.
i dont think youre right..
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate it correctly.
JoJo had 1/12 cups of sugar and used 3/4 cups for her cookies.
To find out how much sugar she has left, we need to subtract the amount she used from the amount she had initially:
1/12 cups - 3/4 cups = (1/12)*(1/1) - (3/4)*(3/3) = 1/12 - 9/12 = -8/12 = -2/3.
So JoJo has -2/3 cups of sugar left.
What number added to −70 has a sum of zero?
To find out how much sugar JoJo has left after using 3/4 cup for her cookies, we need to subtract 3/4 from 1/12.
To do this, we first need to find a common denominator for 1/12 and 3/4. The least common denominator (LCD) for 12 and 4 is 12.
Next, we'll convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12:
1/12 = (1/12) * (1) = 1/12 * 1 = 1/12
3/4 = (3/4) * (3/3) = 9/12
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract them:
1/12 - 9/12 = (1 - 9)/12 = -8/12
Therefore, JoJo has -8/12 cups of sugar left.
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
-8/12 = (-1 * 8)/(3 * 4) = -8/12 = -2/3
So, JoJo has -2/3 cups of sugar left.
To solve this problem, we need to subtract the amount of sugar used from the amount JoJo initially had.
JoJo initially had 1/12 cup of sugar. She used 3/4 cup for her cookies.
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator for 12 and 4 is 12.
Let's convert 3/4 to a fraction with a denominator of 12:
3/4 = (3 * 3) / (4 * 3) = 9/12
Now we can subtract the two fractions:
1/12 - 9/12 = (1 - 9) / 12 = -8/12
However, we want to know how much sugar JoJo has left, so we need to find the absolute value of the result:
|-8/12| = 8/12
The final result is 8/12 cup of sugar left.
If you want to simplify the fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4 yields:
8/12 = (8/4) / (12/4) = 2/3
Therefore, JoJo has 2/3 cup of sugar left.
