Question

Maurice had 3/4 of chicken stock. He used 2/3 of it to make some soup.
A. How much chicken stock did he use to make the soup?
B. How much chicken stock did he have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 8/12

B. 1/12

This answer is 100% right because it's just basic fraction and I'm at my 3rd year of high-school:)

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 3/4 - 2/3 = 9/12 - 8/12 because the LCD of the two fractions are 12 3/4 × 3/3 =9/12 while 2/3 × 4/4 is 8/12 thus 8/12 is the answer because it is the used chicken stock

B. 9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12 1/12 is left when you subtract 9/12 and 8/12

Answer 2

Answer:

Maurice had 3/4 of chicken stock .

Used 2/3 of it.

So he used 2/3 of 3/4

=> 2/3x3/4= 1/2 of it.

B. Chicken stock left  = total - used

                                   = 3/4-1/2

                                  = 1/4
