Brand is combining the leftovers from two batches of chili to serve for dinner tonight. There are 2 1/3 cups of chili left over from the first batch of chili, and there are 5 3/4 total cups of chili left over. How many cups of chili were left over from the second batch of chili?

3 5/12 cups of chili.

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing that needs to be done is find the Greatest Common Denominator. I did this by multiplying the 1/3 by 4/4 to equal 2 4/12 and the 3/4 by 3/3 to equal 9/12  so that they would both be over 12. Now that they are bother over 12 you can seamlessly subtract them by subtracting the fractions and whole numbers. So, 5-2 =3 and 9/12 - 4/12 all together equal 3 5/12.

3 5/12
