Answer:

The answer is 4/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can't simplify 7/12 you would multiply the denominator of 4 by 3 and the numerator of 1 by 3 getting the fraction of 3/12.

After that you'd subtract 7/12 by 3/12 to get an answer of 4/12 or 1/3.

Hope this helps! :>

ANSWER:

he used 1/3 cup more flour than sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

7/12 - 1/4 is the equation

multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 3 so the denominators are the same. it would be 3/12

7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12

simplify

4/12 = 1/3

1/3 cup is your answer i hope this helps!
