To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we need to find the difference between the total number of cookies he made and the number of cookies he decorated.
The total number of cookies he made is 23, and the number of cookies he decorated is 14.
Therefore, the remaining number of cookies that still needs to be decorated is 23 - 14 = 9.
Thus, the fractional portion remaining is 9/23.
WRONG DONT SAY 9/23 ITS NOT EVEN A OPTION PICK ONE OF THESE
11/12
3/7
1/2
5/12
Apologies for the mistake. The correct answer is 9/23.
USE EXPLAIN BOT INSTEAD!
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's break down the problem to find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate.
Skyler made a total of 23 cookies, and he decorated 14 of them. To find the remaining cookies that still need to be decorated, we subtract the number of decorated cookies from the total number of cookies: 23 - 14 = 9.
So, Skyler still needs to decorate 9 cookies. To find the fractional portion of the remaining cookies, we write this as a fraction with the number of cookies remaining in the numerator (9) and the total number of cookies in the denominator (23).
Therefore, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is 9/23.
