Jonathan measure 2 cups of flour into a bowl on the counter then he spilled part of it and now there is only three eighths cup left how much did he spill
What is the answer ??
1 8/8 = 3/8 = ?
To determine how much flour Jonathan spilled, we need to find the difference between the initial amount (2 cups) and the remaining amount (3 eighths cup).
First, let's convert the initial amount of flour from cups to eighths of a cup. Since 1 cup is equal to 8 eighths of a cup, we have:
2 cups * 8 eighths cup/cup = 16 eighths cup
Now, we can subtract the remaining amount of flour from the initial amount to find out how much was spilled:
16 eighths cup - 3 eighths cup = 13 eighths cup
Therefore, Jonathan spilled 13 eighths of a cup of flour.
