Question

Robin used 1/4 pounds of butter to make a cake. Before she started, she had 7/8 pounds of butter. How much butter did Robin have when she was done baking? Give your answer as a fraction of a pound.

Answer 1

Answer:

Robin uses 1/4 of a pound of butter

to make a cake.

She starts with 7/8 of a pound of butter.

so she has 7/8 - 1/4 left

7/8 - 1/4

Multiply 8 x 4 to get a denominator

= 32

Cross multiply 4 x 7 = 28

and 8 x 1 = 8

= 28 - 8/ 32

= 20/32

Divide top and bottom by 4

= 5/8 of a pound of butter left.
