A recipe requires 3 1/2 cups of milk. Sam put in 1 3/4 cups and emptied the container. How much more milk does she need to put in?

Please help ASAP!!! :(

3 1/2 = 3 2/4 = 14/4

1 3/4 = 7/4

14/4 - 7/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 cups needed

A recipe requires 5

1
3 cups of milk. Ran put in 1
2
3 cups and emptied a container. How much more milk does he need to put​ in?

Well, it seems like Sam is in quite a "measuring mess-take"! Let's lend her a hand, shall we?

Sam initially put in 1 3/4 cups of milk, and the recipe calls for a total of 3 1/2 cups. To figure out how much more milk she needs, we can subtract what she already put in from the required amount.

3 1/2 cups - 1 3/4 cups = ... (drum roll, please)...

1 3/4 cups!

That's right, Sam needs to pour in another 1 3/4 cups of milk to complete the recipe. Don't worry, Sam, just "milk" it for all it's worth! Keep on cookin'!

To find out how much more milk Sam needs to put in, we need to subtract the amount of milk she has already put in from the required amount.

The required amount of milk is 3 1/2 cups.
Sam has already put in 1 3/4 cups.

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4.

3 1/2 can be written as 7/2 (since 2 goes into 4 twice, and multiplying 3 by 2 gives us 6, making it 6/2).

1 3/4 can be written as 7/4 (since 4 goes into 4 once, and multiplying 1 by 4 gives us 4, making it 4/4).

Now, subtract 7/4 from 7/2:

7/2 - 7/4 = (7*2)/(2*4) - 7/4 = 14/8 - 7/4 = (14 - 14)/8 = 0/8 = 0.

Therefore, Sam does not need to put in any more milk since she already put in the required amount, which is 3 1/2 cups.

To find out how much more milk Sam needs to put in, we can subtract the amount of milk she has already put in from the total amount required.

First, let's convert the mixed number, 1 3/4 cups, to an improper fraction.

To do this, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and then add the numerator (3). This gives us 1 * 4 + 3 = 7/4 cups of milk.

Next, we subtract the amount of milk Sam has already put in from the total required.

Total required: 3 1/2 cups = 7/2 cups
Milk Sam has already put in: 7/4 cups

Subtracting 7/4 cups from 7/2 cups:
7/2 - 7/4

To subtract fractions, we first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest number that both 2 and 4 divide into is 4.

Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 4:
7/2 = 14/4
7/4 = 7/4

Now we can subtract the fractions:
14/4 - 7/4 = (14 - 7)/4 = 7/4

Therefore, Sam needs to put in an additional 7/4 cups of milk to complete the recipe.

To express this in mixed number form, divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (4).

7 ÷ 4 = 1 with a remainder of 3.

This means that Sam needs to put in 1 3/4 cups more of milk to complete the recipe.
