PLZ HELP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer 1

I think it might be 1 17/18

(not sure)

Explanation:

what I did was break down 3 1/2 and I got 2 3/2 I then Subtracted that by 1 5/9 (I don't know if it's right sorry if I'm wrong)

Answer 2

He would have exactly
`1 (17)/(18)` cups of sugar left.

Hope this helped. ^v^
