Given:
Recipe requires ¾ cups of flour
Kelly has only ⅓ cup of flour.
Determine how much cup of flour needed.
Solution:
To easily solve the problem, equate the fractions into decimals then subtract to determine how much cups are needed.
¾ = 0.75
⅓ = 0.333
= 0.75 - 0.333
= 0.417
Kelly needs 0.417 or 5/12 cups of flour.
