To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we need to find the difference between the total number of cookies and the number of cookies he has already decorated.
Total number of cookies = 23
Number of cookies decorated = 14
Fractional portion remaining = (Total number of cookies - Number of cookies decorated) / Total number of cookies
Fractional portion remaining = (23 - 14) / 23
Fractional portion remaining = 9 / 23
So, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction.
To find the fractional portion that Skyler still needs to decorate, we need to compare the number of cookies he has already decorated (14) to the total number of cookies he made (23).
First, we subtract the number of decorated cookies from the total number of cookies:
23 - 14 = 9
So, there are 9 cookies remaining to be decorated.
To express this as a fraction, we write the number of remaining cookies (9) as the numerator and the total number of cookies (23) as the denominator:
Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction
Therefore, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is
Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction.
To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we need to subtract the number of cookies he has already decorated from the total number of cookies he made.
Total number of cookies made = 23
Number of cookies already decorated = 14
Remaining number of cookies to decorate = Total number of cookies made - Number of cookies already decorated
= 23 - 14
= 9
The fractional portion remaining is 9/23.
