Problema Solution

Carrie started with 12 ounces of water when she began her walk. when she was finished walking she had 2 1/4 ounces of water left. how much did she drink?

Answer provided by our tutors

We subtract 2 1/4 out of 12:

12 - 2 1/4 = 12 - (9/4) = (12*4 - 9)/4 = 39/4 = 9 3/4 oz

Carrie drank 9 3/4 oz of water.
