Question

For a large order of brownies. Ms. Perry made 8/8 kg of fudge in her kitchen. She then got 1/6 kg from Mrs. Marshall. If she needs a total of 1 1/8kg for brownies, how much more fudge does she needs to make?

Answer 1

Ms. Perry needs to make an additional 1/24 kg of fudge.

Explanation:

Ms. Perry has a total of 8/8 + 1/6 = 13/6 kg of fudge. She needs 1 1/8 kg of fudge for the brownies, which is equivalent to 9/8 kg. To find how much more fudge she needs to make, we can subtract the amount of fudge she already has from the amount she needs:

9/8 - 13/6 = 27/24 - 26/24 = 1/24

Therefore, Ms. Perry needs to make an additional 1/24 kg of fudge.
