Maddie has 4 cups of maple syrup. She uses
1
3
of the syrup to make maple candies. Then, she uses
2
3
of a cup of syrup to make a maple glaze for a ham. How much maple syrup does Maddie have left?
Don't listen to the other one, it got me wrong. The correct answer is 2 cups
Maddie uses 1/3 + 2/3 = 1 cup of syrup to make the candies and glaze.
Therefore, she has 4 - 1 = <<4-1=3>>3 cups of maple syrup left. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find out how much maple syrup Maddie has left, we need to subtract the amount she used to make maple candies and the amount she used to make the maple glaze from the 4 cups she originally had.
Maddie used 1/3 of a cup of syrup to make maple candies.
Maddie used 2/3 of a cup of syrup to make the maple glaze.
Therefore, the total amount of syrup she used is 1/3 + 2/3 = 1 cup.
To find out how much syrup she has left, we subtract the amount she used from the original amount:
4 cups - 1 cup = 3 cups.
So, Maddie has 3 cups of maple syrup left.
