Question

a recipe for bread uses 5 3/4 cups of white flour and 3 1/3 cups of wheat flour. How many more cups of white flour than wheat flour are used in the recipe?

Answer 1

$5 \times \frac{3}{4} - 3 \times \frac{1}{3}$
$= \frac{58}{24}$

Answer 2

2 and 3/4 more cups of white flour are used than wheat flour.
5 x 3/4= 3 3/4
3 x 1/3= 1
3 3/4 - 1+ 2 3/4
