Claire has 11/12pound of butter. She will use 5 /12 pound of butter to make cookies She estimates she will have 1 /2 pound of butter when she is finished. Is Claire correct?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

We have to substract 5/12 from 11/12:

[tex]\frac{11}{12}-\frac{5}{12}=\frac{11-5}{12}=\frac{6}{12}[/tex]

And simplify the fraction:

[tex]\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

Claire is correct, she'll have 1/2 pound of butter.
