Tim has 270 g of flour.

Question

He uses a third of his flour in a recipe.
How much flour does Tim have left?

Answer 1

To determine how much flour Tim has left after using a third of it, we can perform the following steps:

1. Calculate the amount of flour Tim uses:
\[
\text{Amount used} = \frac{1}{3} \times 270 \, \text{g}
\]

2. Perform the multiplication:
\[
\frac{1}{3} \times 270 = 90 \, \text{g}
\]

3. Subtract the used amount from the total amount of flour:
\[
\text{Amount left} = 270 \, \text{g} - 90 \, \text{g} = 180 \, \text{g}
\]

Thus, Tim has 180 grams of flour left.
