Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) butter = 9/10

sugar = 1/5 =2/10

butter - sugar = 9/10 - 2/10 = 7/10 =0.7 = 70%

2)

Jan = 1/2

Feb = 5/12

total = 1/2 + 5/12 = 6/12 + 5/12 = 11/12

3)

queen's ring = 1/2 = 2/4

princess's ring = 1/4

queen's ring - princess's ring = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4

4)same with 3)

5)

mon = 5/12

tues = 1/2 = 6/12

total = 5/12 + 6/12 = 11/12
