Worked Solution
Step 1: Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions.
6½ = 13/2 = 26/4
2¾ = 11/4
Step 2: Subtract to find the remaining flour.
26/4 − 11/4 = 15/4 = 3¾ cups
Step 3: Divide the remaining flour equally between 2 containers.
3¾ ÷ 2 = 15/4 ÷ 2 = 15/8 = 1 7/8 cups
Answer: 1 7/8 cups per container
Answer: 1 7/8
Correct answer: 1 7/8
