Answer:1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: if your asking which is a change 1 1/2 is a change in the sugar making the total of sugar go down, 3/8 has nothing to do with sugar since it’s the sprinkle quantity, hope this helps!

Answer:

- 1 7/8's of a cup

Explanation:

1/2 = 4/8

1 4/8 + 3/8 = 1 7/8

Make it negative because it is REMOVING or TAKING AWAY from something
