Abigail used 3/4 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of water, how much more milk than water did she use.

1 answer

To find out how much more milk Abigail used than water, subtract the amount of water from the amount of milk.

Abigail used:

  • Milk: \( \frac{3}{4} \) cups
  • Water: \( \frac{1}{2} \) cups

First, we need to convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4 to easily subtract:

\[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \]

Now, subtract the amount of water from the amount of milk:

\[ \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \]

So, Abigail used \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup more milk than water.
