To be able to determine how much peanuts than cashews Cassie bought we simply subtract the amounts given in the problem statement. That is,

3/8 pound of peanuts - 1/4 pound of cashews = 1/8 pounds

THerefore, Cassie bought 1/8 pounds of peanuts than cashews for the mixed nuts. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
