Answer 1

4/8ths or am I thinking this problem the wrong way

Answer 2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information Given
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`\text {chicken broth = } (7)/(8) \ \text {cup}`


`\text {cream = } (3)/(8) \ \text {cup}`

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the difference
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`(7)/(8) - (3)/(8) = (4)/(8) = (1)/(2)`

`\text {Answer : You need } (1)/(2) \ \text {cup of chicken broth more than cream}`
