Question

Solve the problem and explain how you got your answer. While cooking a stew, Reggie used 7/10 of a shaker of salt and 1/10 of a shaker of pepper. How much more salt did Reggie use?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

Given that Reggie used 7/10 of a shaker of salt and 1/10 of a shaker of pepper, to get how much more salt did Reggie used, we simply find the difference between the two quantities.

This difference is

= 7/10 - 1/10

= (7- 1)/10

= 6/10

= 3/5

It means that Reggie used 3/5 more salt than a shaker of pepper.
