To find out how much sugar JoJo has left after using some for her cookies, you subtract the amount she used from the amount she had initially.
JoJo had 112 cups of sugar and used 34 cups.
So, the calculation is:
112 cups - 34 cups = 78 cups
JoJo has 78 cups of sugar left.
To find out how much sugar JoJo has left after using some for her cookies, you need to subtract the amount she used from the amount she initially had.
First, convert \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) cups to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \text{ cups} \]
Next, subtract \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup from \( \frac{3}{2} \): \[ \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{4} \]
To perform this subtraction, you need a common denominator. The least common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert \( \frac{3}{2} \) to have a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{6}{4} \]
Now, subtract: \[ \frac{6}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6 - 3}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \]
So, JoJo has \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup of sugar left.
