Answer 1

Sammy's aunt made a third of a pound of fudge.

Mathematically,

`(1)/(3)`

Her uncle bought 1/4 of a pound of fudge

`(1)/(4)`

How much more fudge did her aunt make?

Simply subtract the amount of fudge that her uncle bought from the amount of fudge that her ant made.

`(1)/(3)-(1)/(4)=(4(1)-3(1))/(12)=(4-3)/(12)=(1)/(12)`

Therefore, her aunt made 1/12 of a pound more fudge than her uncle.
