Answer:

Explanation:

Amount of cheese needed is 3/4

Amount of pepperoni needed 1/3

Amount of mushroom needed 1 /4

Total amount of mushroom and pepperoni needed will be sum of mushroom needed and pepperoni needed. It becomes

1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12

To determine how much more cheese you need than pepperoni and mushrooms combined, we will subtract the total amount of mushroom and pepperoni from the amount of cheese. It becomes

3/4 - 7/12= 2/12 = 1/6
