Asher has two bottles of floor cleaner, each of which contains 2 cups full. one bottle contains 3/8 cup and the other bottle is full. he needs 1 1/4 cups of floor cleaner. how many cups from the new bottle does asher need? show that the number of cups asher needs from the second bottle is equal to the distance between 3/8 and 1 1/1 on the number line

7/8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just a matter of converting fractions. First, you'll make 1 1/4 = 5/4, then multiply by 2 to get 10/8. She has 3/8 cups already, so you'll subtract to have a remainder of 7/8 cups needed from the second bottle.

Draw your number line from 1/8 to 16/8, and put a dot on 3/8, 10/8, and 7/8.
