Question

Denise made cookies. She used 5/8 of a cup of flour and 1/2 of a cup of sugar. How much more flour than sugar did Denise use?

(I'm not a 3rd grader i swear)

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)`

First you need to find the fraction with the same denominator.

Since we're working with eighths this is easy. since 1/2 = 4/8

5/8 - 4/8 = 1/8
