PLEASE HELP!!
Wesley initially filled a measuring cup with 5/6 of a cup of syrup from a large jug. Then he poured 1/2 of a cup back into the jug. How much syrup remains in the measuring cup?

Answer:

2/6 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off with 5/6 of a cup of syrup in a measuring cup.

Then Wesley pours out 1/2 of the syrup in the measuring cup.

Our equation looks like this:

5/6 - 1/2 = ?

However, we can't use this equation because the denominators (6 & 2) aren't the same. So we will find the LCD (least common denominator).

Mulitiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8

6 is the LCD for the both of them.

Multiply 3 to the numerator and denominator of 1/2 (because to get from 2 to 6 using multiplication, you mulitiply 3)

1/2 x 3/3 = 3/6

Now we can substitue 3/6 into our original equation and solve it:

5/6 - 3/6 = 2/6

It's better to use the simplified answer, 1/3.

Hope it helps and good luck (●'◡'●)
