Samuel has 2 1/4 cups of flour. she uses 1/3 of the flour to make pancakes. how many cups of flour did he use? try to explain this to me the best you can

Samuel uses 1 11/12 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is assuming he uses the rest of the flour she didn't use.

The first step would be to find the Greatest Common Factor(GCF) of the fractions

2 1/4 and 1/3 have different denominators, but they both can divide into 12.

1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12

1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12

Now we can also convert 2 3/12 into an improper fraction to make it easier

2* 12/12 = 24/12

24/12+ 3/12 = 27/12

Here's the part were we subtract the two numbers.

27/12- 4/12 = 23/12

The last step is to simplify the fraction

23/12 = 1 11/12 cups
