To determine how much sugar JoJo has left after using some for cookies, we can subtract the amount she used from the total amount she had.
JoJo had 112 cups of sugar and used \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup for her cookies.
So, we calculate:
\[ 112 - \frac{3}{4} \]
First, convert 112 into a fraction with a denominator of 4:
\[ 112 = \frac{112 \times 4}{4} = \frac{448}{4} \]
Now, subtract \( \frac{3}{4} \):
\[ \frac{448}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{448 - 3}{4} = \frac{445}{4} \]
Now, convert \( \frac{445}{4} \) back to a mixed number:
- Divide 445 by 4, which gives 111 with a remainder of 1.
So,
\[ \frac{445}{4} = 111 \frac{1}{4} \]
Therefore, JoJo has 111 and \( \frac{1}{4} \) cups of sugar left.
The correct response from the options provided is:
2 and 1 fourth cup (this seems to be an error in the understanding of the total but fits the fractional remaining sugar).
If that doesn't fit into your context, JoJo has 111 and 1/4 cups left after her usage.
