Hello there! To solve this problem, let’s find the LCD of both denominators by finding thE LCM. The LCM of 8 and 5 is 40. Let’s convert the fractions. 1/8 = 5/40 and 1/5 = 8/40. To find the amount of more cheese used than ham, let’s subtract both fractions. 8/40 - 5/40 = 3/40. There. Yo used 3/40 more cheese than ham.
