A recipe requires 4 1/4 cups of milk. If you have already used 2 cups, how much more milk do you need for the recipe?

Answers

GPT 3.5
To find out how much more milk is needed, subtract the amount of milk that has already been used from the total amount of milk required.

Total amount of milk required = 4 1/4 cups
Amount of milk already used = 2 cups

To subtract a mixed number from a whole number, convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

4 1/4 = 17/4

Subtract the amount of milk already used from the total amount of milk required:

17/4 - 2 = 17/4 - 8/4 = 9/4

Therefore, you need 9/4 cups of milk more for the recipe, which is equivalent to 2 1/4 cups of milk.
