Question

Rickey has 7 over 8 cup of cereal in a bowl. He then gave two 1 over 4 cups of cereal from his bowl to his little sister. Which of the following best explains the amount of cereal left in Rickey's bowl?

Answer 1

Given,

Rickey has 7 over 8 cup of cereal in a bowl.

He gave two 1 over 4 cups of cereal from his bowl to his little sister.

To find,

The remaining amount of cereal in the Rickey's bowl.

Solution,

First of all, we need to convert the given measurements into fractional values.

Rickey has = 7/8 cup of cereal

He gave = 2 × 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 cup of cereal to his sister

Now, we can easily calculate the remaining amount of cereal by the following mathematical formula.

= 7/8 - 1/2

= 7-4/8

= 3/8

Hence, 3/8 or 3 over 8 cup of cereal was remaining.
