Respuesta :

Answer:

2 5/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container

The amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup is calculated as:

3 2/3 - 1 1/4

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

LCD = Lowest Common Denominator is 12

= 2 + (4 × 2 - 3 × 1/12)

= 2 + (8 - 3/12)

= 2 + 5/12

= 2 5/12 cups

Hence, the amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup = 2 5/12 cups of juice
