PROBLEM

Samanta had 1/2 cup of brown sugar. She used 3/8 cup of it to make a cake. How much sugar was left?

ANSWER

There'll be 5/16 cup of brown sugar after baking the cake.

SOLUTION

First, get the portion of sugar that Samantha used,

1/2 × 3/8 = 3/16

then, subtract it from the amount of sugar that she had before making a cake,

1/2 - 3/16 = 8/16 - 3/16 = 5/16

Hence, there'll be 5/16 cup of brown sugar after baking the cake.
