Answer:
The answer to your question is: 8 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total cups = 20
cups used for bread = 7 3/4
Cups for cookies = 3 1/3
Process
Convert mixed fraccions to improper fractions
7 3/4 = [tex]\frac{28 + 3}{4} = \frac{31}{4}[/tex]
3 1/3 = [tex]\frac{9 + 1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Cups left = total cups - cups for bread - cups for cookies
Cups left = 20 - [tex]\frac{31}{4} - \frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Cups left = [tex]\frac{240 - 93 - 40}{12}[/tex]
Cups left = [tex]\frac{107}{12}[/tex]
Cups left = 8 11/12
TOTAL NUMBER OF CUPS OF FLOUR OWNED BY ADRIENNE=20
NUMBER OF CUPS USED FOR A BATCH OF BREAD=7,3/4
NUMBER OF CUPS USED FOR A BATCH OF COOKIES= 3,1/3
TOTAL NUMBER OF USED FLOUR= CUPS USED FOR BATCH OF BREAD + BATCH USED FOR COOKIES
THIS IS =7,3/4 + 3,1/3
ADD UP THE WHOLE NUMBERS WHICH IS 7+3=10
ADD UP THE FRACTIONS 3/4 +1/3= 13/12= 1,1/12
10+1,1/12=11,1/12
TOTAL NUMBER OF FLOUR LEFT AFTER ADRIENNE BAKED ALL BREAD AND FLOUR = TOTAL NUMBER OF WHOLE FLOUR - TOTAL NUMBER OF USED FLOUR
FLOUR LEFT = 20 - 11,1/12 =
20-11= 9
9 - 1/12= 8,11/12
8,11/12
