To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we can subtract the fraction of cookies already decorated from the fraction of cookies made.
Fraction of cookies made = 2/3
Fraction of cookies decorated = 1/4
Fractional portion remaining = (2/3) - (1/4)
= (8/12) - (3/12)
= 5/12
Therefore, Skyler still needs to decorate 5/12 of the cookies.
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 only has enough time to decorate 1/4 of them what is a fractional portional remaining that he still needs to decorate
