Question

David cooks 6 cups of rice for his family. They eat 4 cups. What fraction of the rice is uneaten

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

David cooks 6 cups of rice and his family eats 4 cups. To find the fraction, we must first do 6-4 to get 2. We place 2 in the numerator and 6 in the denominator. We have 2/6. We can simplify 2/6 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to get 1/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

2/6

Step by Step Explanation:

For this problem the way to solve is first figuring out how much is eaten. Four of the 6 cups are eaten or 4/6 are eaten. We know that it started as 6 cups in total which means if four are eaten two are left over. The fraction would 2/6 because 2 out of the 6 cups are uneaten.
