A dessert recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour, divided. If 1/4 cup of flour is needed for the crumble on top of the dessert, how much flour is used in the body of the dessert? Express your answer in simplest terms.(1 point)
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
So, 1/2 cup of flour is used in the body of the dessert.
To find out how much flour is used in the body of the dessert, we need to subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount required.
Total amount of flour required = 3/4 cup
Amount used for the crumble = 1/4 cup
To find the amount used in the body of the dessert, we subtract the amount used for the crumble:
3/4 cup - 1/4 cup = 2/4 cup
Now, we simplify the fraction 2/4:
The numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so we divide both by 2:
2 ÷ 2 / 4 ÷ 2 = 1/2
Hence, the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert is 1/2 cup.
To find how much flour is used in the body of the dessert, subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount required.
The dessert recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour, divided. We need to subtract 1/4 cup used for the crumble.
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
The result is 2/4, which can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get:
2/4 ÷ 2/2 = 1/2
Therefore, the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert is 1/2 cup.
