9/20

Explanation:

According to this question, Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance. Lucy made 35 of the cupcakes while JoJo made 42 cupcakes. This means that in total, (42 + 35) cupcakes has been made by both Lucy and JoJo

That is, 77 cupcakes out of 140 has been made. This is 77/140 i.e. 11/20

Since 77/140 cupcakes has been made, Lucy and JoJo still need to make;

140 - 77 = 63 cupcakes to meet up their target for the school dance.

This means that the fraction left is 63/140

63/140 in its lowest term is 9/20

Hence, 9/20 of the cupcakes still need to be made by Lucy and JoJo.
