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}
