John and Sue are baking cookies. The recipe lists 3/4 cup of flour. They only have 3/8 cup of flour left.

How many more cups of flour do they need to bake the cookies?

The answer is 3/8. This is because a half of 3/8 is 3/4, so then when you add 3/8 and 3/8 it is 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4. I hope this helps!
