Connie is putting the ingredients for her favorite oatmeal into a jar. The jar holds 212 cups of ingredients. So far she has added 123 cups of oats to the jar and 14 cup of raisins. How much room does Connie have left in the jar?
To find out how much room Connie has left in the jar, we need to subtract the amount of ingredients she has already added from the total capacity of the jar.
Total capacity of the jar = 212 cups
Ingredients added so far:
Oats = 123 cups
Raisins = 14 cups
Total ingredients added = 123 + 14 = 137 cups
Remaining room in the jar = Total capacity of the jar - Total ingredients added
= 212 - 137
= <<212-137=75>>75 cups
Therefore, Connie has 75 cups of room left in the jar.
