Question

todd misread the recipe and added 3/5 of a teaspoon of salt to the bread dough the recipe called for 1/2 of a teaspoon how much extra salt was added

Answer 1

Answer is 1/10 teaspoon extra salt

Step by step

We can find the difference using subtraction

3/5 - 1/2

First find common denominator which is 10, 10 is divisible by both 5 and 2

3/5 = 6/10 (multiply 5 x 2 = 10, do the same to the numerator, 3 x 2 = 6)

1/2 = 5/10 (multiply 2 x 5 = 10, do the same to the numerator, 1 x 5 = 5)

So subtract

6/10 - 5/10 = 1/10 teaspoon extra salt
