after making both recipes, i think ryan has 1/2 pint of milk left.
my work:
3 1/2 - 1 1/2 - 1 1/2 = 1/2
A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. The milk that is left with Ryan is 1 1/2 pint.
A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.
A mixed fraction is a fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction whose denominator is greater than the numerator.
As it is given that Ryan has 3 1/2 pint of milk, therefore, the total amount of milk with Ryan is,
[tex]\text{Total Milk}=3\dfrac{1}{2}= \dfrac{(3\times 2)+1}{2} = \dfrac{7}{2}[/tex]
Ryan uses 1 1/2 cups of milk to make recipe A and 1 1/2 cups of milk to make recipe B. Therefore, the total milk used by Ryan is,
[tex]\text{Milk Used}=1\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{(1 \times 2)+1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{2}[/tex]
Now, the milk that is left with Ryan is,
Milk Left with Ryan = Total Milk - Milk Used
[tex]=\dfrac{7}{2} -\dfrac{4}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7-4}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the milk that is left with Ryan is 1 1/2 pint.
