difference bwetween 2 3/8oz and 1 1 /8 oz?

Question

trying to divide in half the difference of bowl weighing 1/1/8, added dry mix now weighs 2 3/8 oz.  Need to know how I can cut dry mix in half?

Answer 1

Here I'll break it down so you can see how to solve it easier.

To find the difference between **2 3/8 oz** and **1 1/8 oz**, you subtract:

Start by subtracting the whole numbers and fractions separately:

* Whole numbers: 2 − 1 = 1

* Fractions: 3/8 − 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4

Now combine them:

1 + 1/4 = **1 1/4 oz**

So, the difference is **1 1/4 ounces**.

Answer 2

Bowl's weight = 1 1/8 oz, bowl + mix = 2 3/8 oz

 

Mix weight = 2 3/8 - 1 1/8 = 1 2/8 oz = 10/8 oz

 

To cut in half, multiply by 1/2 (same as dividing by 2):

 

(10/8)*(1/2) = 10/16 = 5/8 oz
