Silas has 5 1/4 cups of flour. He uses 3 1/2 cups to bake bread, then he borrows another 2 cups from his neighbor. He wants to bake cookies, which take 2 3/4 cups of flour. Does he have enough? How much will he have left over, or how much more does he need?

Respuesta :

Answer:

He has enough to bake the cookies with 1 cup of flour left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.25 cups to start - 3.5 for the bread = 1.75 remaining

1.75 cups + 2 cups from neighbors = 3.75 cups

3.75 - 2.75 for cookies = 1 cup left over.
