karen has 1/2 cup of sugar.she is baking cookies and needs 1 1/3 cup.how much more sugar does she need for the recipe.

Question

that's fractions in the question 

Answer 1

We need to subtract 

 

1 1/3 - 1/2 = 4/3 - 1/2 (when we convert the mixed number 1 1/3 to 4/3)

 

= 8/6 - 3/6 (using the common denominator of 6)

 

= 5/6

 

She needs 5/6 cup more of sugar for the recipe
