Skyler is making cookies to donate to the bake sale at his local grocery store. He makes 2/3 of the cookies on a given night and has only enough time to decorate 1/4 of them. What is the fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate?

He decorated 1/4 of the 2/3 he made, i.e. (1/4)(2/3) = 1/6 of all the cookies. So the fraction still needing decoration is 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

(If you meant “of the cookies he made,” then 3/4 of the 2/3 remain undecorated, which is (3/4)(2/3) = 1/2 of all the cookies.)
