Ms. scavotto has 15 3/4 cups of flour in a container. She uses 2 1/4 cups of flour to make a loaf of bread how much flour does she have left SHOW ALL YOUR WORK

The flour left with her = 13 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Flour in the container = 15 3/4 cups = 63/4

Flour used to make bread = 2 1/4 cups = 9/4

The flour left with her = (63/4) - (9/4)

= (63 - 9) / 4

= 54/4 = 27/2

= 13 1/2 cups

OR

The flour left with her = 15 3/4 - 2 1/4

= (15 - 2) + (3/4 - 1/4)

= 13 + (2/4)

= 13 + (1/2)

= 13 1/2 cups
