While making desserts for Fun Day, Methuki used 5/6 of a scoop of brown sugar as well as 1/2 of a scoop of white sugar. How much more brown sugar did she use?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to find how much more 5/6 is than 1/2. To do this, we simply subtract 1/2 from 5/6. This will show us how much more 5/6 is.

First, we multiply 1/2 by 3/3 so that the denominator is 6.

1/2×3/3=3/6

Now, we subtract this from 5/6.

5/6-3/6=2/6

We can simplify this to 1/3.

Therefore, Methuki used 1/3 scoop more of brown sugar than white sugar while making desserts for Fun Day.

Have a wonderful day! :D
