Question

Honey baked a cake. She used $4\frac{5}{8}$ cups of flour and $3\frac{1}{8}$ cups of sugar. How much more flour than sugar did Honey use?

Answer 1

Extra flour used = Flour used - Sugar used

$=4\frac{5}{8}-3\frac{1}{8}$

$=\frac{37}{8}-\frac{25}{8}=\frac{12}{8}$

$=\frac{3}{2}cups$

$=1\frac{1}{2}cups.$
