Q. Dakota filled a measuring cup with 34\frac{3}{4} of a cup of vegetable oil. Then she poured 14\frac{1}{4} of a cup of the oil into a frying pan. How much oil is left in the measuring cup?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline___\_\_\_ cups
  1. Start with oil: Dakota started with 34\frac{3}{4} cup of oil. She poured out 14\frac{1}{4} cup. To find out how much is left, subtract the amount poured out from the original amount. \newlineCalculation: 3414=24\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4}
  2. Pour out oil: Simplify the fraction obtained from the subtraction.\newlineCalculation: 24\frac{2}{4} simplifies to 12\frac{1}{2}
