Linda had 3 litres of milk. She spilled 1/6 ℓ of milk and used 3/4 ℓ to bake some cookies. How much milk did she have left?
(A) 11/12 ℓ (B) 2 1/12 ℓ (C) 2 1/4 ℓ (D) 2 5/6 ℓ
answer (B) — 2 1/12 ℓ
method Put everything over twelfths: 1/6 = 2/12 and 3/4 = 9/12, so she lost 2/12 + 9/12 = 11/12 ℓ altogether. Taking that from 3 ℓ: 3 − 11/12 = 2 12/12 − 11/12 = 2 1/12 ℓ.
watch Answering 11/12 — that is how much milk went, not how much is left. Or subtracting only one of the two amounts.
