Clara scoops flour into a mixing bowl. Each scoop contains 3/4 cup of flour. Clara puts 5 scoops of flour into a mixing bowl, then transfers 1/3 of flour into a small bowl. How many cups of flour are in the small bowl?

First you must multiply 3/4 times 5 to find out how many cups of flour was put into the bowl.

3/4*5/1=15/4

Change improper fraction to mixed number.

15/4 = 3 and 3/4

Subtract 1/3 from 3 and 3/4

3 3/4 = 3 9/12 = 2 21/12

1/3 = 4/12. = 4/12

Answer; 3 and 5/12
