Question

the table shows the amounts of ingredients needed to make a pizza. how much more romano cheese do you need than onions and mushrooms combined? show how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

We have:

Romano cheese need is 7/8 cups

Onions need is 1/4 cups

Mushrooms need is 1/8 cups

Then, onions and mushrooms combined:

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(8)`

multiply and divide 1/4 by 2

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(8)+(1)/(8) \\ \text{and we add } \\ (2+1)/(8)=(3)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Next, we subtract the romano cheese and onions and mushrooms combined:

`(7)/(8)-(3)/(8)=(7-3)/(8)=(4)/(8)=(1)/(2)`

Answer: 1/2 cups
