Answer:

Lyla used 1.4-1 = 0.4 = 40% more brown sugar than white sugar

Explanation:

To find how much brown sugar she used, we divide the amount she used of brown sugar divided by the amount she used of white sugar.

7/10 of a scoop of brown sugar

1/2 of a scoop of white sugar.

So


((7)/(10))/((1)/(2)) = (7*2)/(10*1) = (14)/(10) = 1.4

Lyla used 1.4-1 = 0.4 = 40% more brown sugar than white sugar
