While making desserts for a bake sale, Sebastian used 4/5 of a scoop of brown sugar as well as 1/2 of a scoop of white sugar. How much more brown sugar did Sebastian use?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To determine how much more brown sugar Sebastian used than white sugar, we can compare the two amounts:
– Brown sugar: ( frac{4}{5} )
– White sugar: ( frac{1}{2} )
First, we need to find a common denominator to subtract these fractions. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10.
Next, we convert the fractions:
– For brown sugar:
( frac{4}{5} = frac{4 times 2}{5 times 2} = frac{8}{10} )
– For white sugar:
( frac{1}{2} = frac{1 times 5}{2 times 5} = frac{5}{10} )
Now we can subtract the two amounts:
( frac{8}{10} – frac{5}{10} = frac{3}{10} )
So, Sebastian used ( frac{3}{10} ) more brown sugar than white sugar.
Final answer: ( frac{3}{10} )
To find out how much more brown sugar Sebastian used compared to white sugar, we can subtract the amount of white sugar from the amount of brown sugar.
Sebastian used:
– Brown sugar: ( frac{4}{5} ) scoop
– White sugar: ( frac{1}{2} ) scoop
First, we need a common denominator to subtract these fractions. The least common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10.
Now, convert both fractions:
– Brown sugar: ( frac{4}{5} = frac{8}{10} )
– White sugar: ( frac{1}{2} = frac{5}{10} )
Now, we can subtract the amounts:
[
frac{8}{10} – frac{5}{10} = frac{3}{10}
]
So, Sebastian used ( frac{3}{10} ) scoop more brown sugar than white sugar.
Final Answer: ( frac{3}{10} ) scoop more brown sugar.
To find out how much more brown sugar Sebastian used compared to white sugar, we need to compare the two quantities:
– Brown sugar used: ( frac{4}{5} )
– White sugar used: ( frac{1}{2} )
First, we need a common denominator to subtract the two fractions. The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 2 is 10.
Now, convert both fractions to have the same denominator:
– Brown sugar:
( frac{4}{5} = frac{4 times 2}{5 times 2} = frac{8}{10} )
– White sugar:
( frac{1}{2} = frac{1 times 5}{2 times 5} = frac{5}{10} )
Now we can subtract the amounts:
[
frac{8}{10} – frac{5}{10} = frac{3}{10}
]
So, Sebastian used ( frac{3}{10} ) more brown sugar than white sugar.
To find out how much more brown sugar Sebastian used compared to white sugar, we need to calculate the difference between the two amounts.
Sebastian used:
– Brown sugar: ( frac{4}{5} ) of a scoop
– White sugar: ( frac{1}{2} ) of a scoop
First, we need a common denominator to subtract these fractions. The least common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10.
Now, convert each fraction:
– Brown sugar:
[
frac{4}{5} = frac{4 times 2}{5 times 2} = frac{8}{10}
]
– White sugar:
[
frac{1}{2} = frac{1 times 5}{2 times 5} = frac{5}{10}
]
Now, we can find the difference:
[
frac{8}{10} – frac{5}{10} = frac{3}{10}
]
Sebastian used ( frac{3}{10} ) more brown sugar than white sugar.
So, the answer is ( frac{3}{10} ).
