Answer: 1/5

Explanation:

Fraction of crackers eaten by Harry: 1/2

Fraction of crackers eaten by Samantha: 7/10

Fraction of crackers eaten more by Samantha: 7/10 - 1/2

= 7/10 - 5/10 ( LCM of denominators - 2,5 = 10 )

= 2/10

= 1/5

∴ Samantha ate 1/5 of serving of crackers more than Harry did.
