Question

Brianna made cookies. She used 5/8 of a cup of flour and 1/2 of a cup of sugar. How much more flour than sugar did Brianna use?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number

Answer 1

She used 1/8 or 12.5% more flour than sugar

Explanation:

flour: 5/8

sugar: 1/2 = 4/8

`(5)/(8) - (4)/(8) = \frac{1} {8} = 0.125`

0.125 = 12.5%
