Skyler is making cookies to donate to the bake sale at his local grocery store. He makes 23 of the cookies on a given night and has only enough time to decorate 14 of them. What is the fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate?(1 point)

To find the fractional portion Skyler still needs to decorate, we use the following equation:
Fraction remaining = (Total cookies to decorate - Cookies already decorated) / Total cookies
Given that Skyler makes 23 cookies and decorates 14 of them:
Fraction remaining = (23 - 14) / 23
= 9 / 23
So, the fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate is:
Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction
WRONG
1 MORE CHANCE
Apologies for the mistake.
To find the fractional portion Skyler still needs to decorate, we use the following equation:
Fraction remaining = (Cookies remaining to decorate) / Total cookies
Given that Skyler makes 23 cookies and decorates 14 of them:
Cookies remaining to decorate = Total cookies - Cookies already decorated
= 23 - 14
= 9
So, the fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate is:
Fraction remaining = (9) / (23)
= Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction
THATS NOT A OPTION
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try solving the problem again.
To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we start by calculating the number of cookies remaining to decorate.
Total cookies made = 23
Cookies already decorated = 14
Cookies remaining to decorate = Total cookies made - Cookies already decorated
= 23 - 14
= 9
Now, we express the fractional portion remaining:
Fraction remaining = Cookies remaining to decorate / Total cookies made
= 9 / 23
Since the fraction cannot be simplified further, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is:
Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction
YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING!, 9/23 IS WRONG!
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem again properly.
To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we can use the following equation:
Fraction remaining = (Cookies remaining to decorate) / Total cookies
Given that Skyler makes 23 cookies and decorates 14 of them:
Cookies remaining to decorate = Total cookies - Cookies already decorated
= 23 - 14
= 9
So, the fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate is:
Fraction remaining = (Cookies remaining to decorate) / Total cookies
= 9 / 23
The fractional portion cannot be simplified further, so the answer is:
Start Fraction 9 over 23 End Fraction
