Answer:
[tex]1\frac{11}{24}[/tex] cups more water than sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Question: Jalil mixed 3/8 cup of sugar with 11/6 cups of water. How many more cups of water than sugar did he use in his mixture.
Answer:
Jalil mixed the number of cups of sugar = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
with the number of cups of water = [tex]\frac{11}{6}[/tex]
We have to find the additional amount of water that is used in his mixture.
So we will subtract the amount of sugar from the amount of water.
[tex]\frac{11}{6}[/tex]- [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{44-9}{24}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{35}{24}[/tex]
= [tex]1\frac{11}{24}[/tex] cups
[tex]1\frac{11}{24}[/tex] cups more water is used in this mixture.
