Noah made 1 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins and 1 3/4 dozen lemon muffins. He needs to take 5 dozen muffins to the bake sale. How many dozen more muffins does he need to bake?
1 2/4 + 1 3/4 = 2 5/4 = 3 1/4
5 - 3 1/4
= 4 4/4 - 3 1/4
= 1 3/4
How many muffins are in 3/4 dozen
Thanks

To find out how many dozen more muffins Noah needs to bake, we need to add the number of blueberry muffins and lemon muffins he has already made and subtract that from the total number of muffins he needs to take to the bake sale.
Noah made 1 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins, which is equivalent to 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 dozen blueberry muffins.
He also made 1 3/4 dozen lemon muffins, which is equivalent to 1 + 3/4 = 7/4 dozen lemon muffins.
To get the total number of muffins Noah has made, we add the blueberry and lemon muffins together:
3/2 + 7/4 = 6/4 + 7/4 = 13/4 dozen muffins.
Now, we subtract the total number of muffins Noah has made from the total number of muffins he needs to take to the bake sale:
5 - 13/4 = 20/4 - 13/4 = 7/4 dozen muffins.
Therefore, Noah needs to bake an additional 7/4 dozen muffins to have a total of 5 dozen muffins for the bake sale.
