John is cooking cupcakes the recipe calls for 3 and 3/10 cup of flour he accidentally puts in 3 and 5/8 cups how many extra Cups did he put in
To find out how many extra cups John put in the cupcakes, we should first find the difference between the original amount specified in the recipe and the amount John actually put in.
Original amount of flour = 3 and 3/10 cups = 3 + 3/10 = 30/10 + 3/10 = 33/10 cups
Amount John put in = 3 and 5/8 cups = 3 + 5/8 = 24/8 + 5/8 = 29/8 cups
Now, let's calculate the extra amount John put in:
Extra amount = Amount John put in - Original amount of flour
Extra amount = 29/8 - 33/10
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 40.
Extra amount = (29/8) * (5/5) - (33/10) * (4/4)
Extra amount = 145/40 - 132/40
Extra amount = (145 - 132)/40
Extra amount = 13/40 cups
Therefore, John accidentally put in an extra 13/40 cups of flour in the cupcakes.
To find out how many extra cups of flour John put in, we need to subtract the required amount from the amount he actually put in.
The required amount of flour is 3 and 3/10 cups.
The amount John actually put in is 3 and 5/8 cups.
First, we need to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:
3 and 3/10 = (3 * 10 + 3) / 10 = 33/10
3 and 5/8 = (3 * 8 + 5) / 8 = 29/8
Now, we can subtract the required amount from the actual amount:
29/8 - 33/10
To subtract these fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 10 is 40.
So, let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 40:
(29/8) * (5/5) = 145/40
(33/10) * (4/4) = 132/40
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
145/40 - 132/40 = (145 - 132) / 40 = 13/40
Therefore, John put in an extra 13/40 cups of flour.
To find out how many extra cups of flour John put in, we need to subtract the correct measurement from the actual measurement.
The recipe calls for 3 and 3/10 cups of flour, which can be written as 3 + 3/10 = 3.3 cups.
John accidentally put in 3 and 5/8 cups, which can be written as 3 + 5/8 = 3.625 cups.
To find the difference, we subtract the correct measurement (3.3 cups) from the actual measurement (3.625 cups):
3.625 cups - 3.3 cups = 0.325 cups.
Therefore, John put in an extra 0.325 cups of flour.
