Answer:

Ok so we are trying to find out how much flour she used to make brownies so we already know that she used 1/2 flour to make bread and She uses 1/8 flour less flour to make bread than to make cookies so if we add 1/2 and 1/8 we will get the amount of flour she used to make the cookies so 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8 so now that we have the amount of flour she used to make the cookies we know that that is 1/4 more flour than brownies so if we subtract 5/8 by 1/4 we will get are answer to how much flour she uses to make brownies so 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8 and that's your answer do you understand?
