Question

At the neighborhood block party, Ted served3/8 of a gallon of hot chocolate and 2/8 of a gallon of apple cider. How much more hot chocolate than apple cider did Ted serve?

Answer 1

we know that

hot chocolate -----> 3/8 gal

apple cider -----> 2/8 gal

so

Find out the difference

`(3)/(8)-(2)/(8)=(3-2)/(8)=(1)/(8)\text{ gal}`

The answer is 1/8 gal
