1 2/3 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicole is cooking cookies recipe calls for 5 cups of flour she has already put in three 1/3 cups how many more cups does she need to put in?

We solve the above question using Subtraction operation

The number of cups she still needs to put in =

5 cups - 3 1/3 cups

= 5 - 3 1/3

= 5/1 - 10/3

The Lowest Common Denominator = 3

= 15 - 10/3

= 5/3

= 1 2/3 cups of flour

12=2^2×3

18=2×3^2

21=3×7

hence

lcm(12,18,21)=2^2×3^2×7=252

now it leaves remainder 3

hence

the number is 252+3= 255
