Answer 1

To find how much food Oliver gives his dog the rest of the day, we need to subtract the amount given in the morning from the total amount given in a day.

Let's let x be the amount of food Oliver gives his dog the rest of the day.

The equation to represent this situation is:

1/3 + x = 3/4

To find x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, we subtract 1/3 from both sides of the equation:

x = 3/4 - 1/3

To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. We can find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together:

x = 9/12 - 4/12

Now we can subtract the fractions:

x = 5/12

Therefore, Oliver gives his dog 5/12 cup of food for the rest of the day.

Answer: B. 5/12 cup
