Answer:


(1)/(6)

Explanation:

First, we have to find how much water Monica needs in total:


2(3)/(4) + 3(1)/(8) = 5(7)/(8)

We have given that she needs
6(1)/(24) amount of floor for the dessert and we have to find the difference between the amount of water and floor.


6(1)/(24) -  5(7)/(8) = 1(1 - 21)/(24) = (25 - 21)/(24) = (4)/(24) = (1)/(6)
