Question

Dave made fruit punch for his party but accidentally tripped and spilled 5/12 of the punch. How much of the punch was left?

Answer 1

7/12 of the punch was left.
There is 12/12 (whole) of the punch Dave is holding, then when he spills 5/12, that is 12/12 - 5/12 which equals 7/12. Did this help?

Answer 2

He would have 7/12 of punch left.
