Answer:


1(11)/(24) cups more water than sugar

Explanation:

Question: Jalil mixed 3/8 cup of sugar with 11/6 cups of water. How many more cups of water than sugar did he use in his mixture.

Answer:

Jalil mixed the number of cups of sugar =
(3)/(8)

with the number of cups of water =
(11)/(6)

We have to find the additional amount of water that is used in his mixture.

So we will subtract the amount of sugar from the amount of water.


(11)/(6)-
(3)/(8)

=
(44-9)/(24)

=
(35)/(24)

=
1(11)/(24) cups


1(11)/(24) cups more water is used in this mixture.
