Connie is putting the ingredients for her favorite oatmeal into a jar. The jar holds 2 1/2 cups of ingredients. So far she has added 1 2/3 cups of oats to the jar and 1/4 cup of raisins. How much room does Connie have left in the jar? Write in 2-3 sentences

Answer 1

Connie has added a total of 1 2/3 + 1/4 = 1 11/12 cups of ingredients.
The jar can hold 2 1/2 - 1 11/12 = 10/2 - 23/12 = 5/2 - 23/12 = 25/12 - 23/12 = 2/12 = 1/6 cup of ingredients.
Therefore, Connie has 1/6 cup of room left in the jar.
