Find the common denominator for 8 and 6. That's 48
So 3/8= 18/48
And 5/6=40/48
Minus 40 from 18 to find out how many more cups of water he used.
That's 22 cups of water.
Answer:
[tex]4\frac{8}{9}[/tex] more cups of water than sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this you just have to divide the number of cups of water by the cups of sugar:
[tex]\frac{1\frac{5}{6} }{\frac{3}{8} } \\\\\frac{\frac{6+5}{6} }{\frac{3}{8} } \\\frac{\frac{11}{6} }{\frac{3}{8} } \\\frac{11*8}{6*3}\\\frac{88}{18}\\\frac{44}{9}= 3\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Now we know that for every cup of sugar, Jalil uses [tex]4\frac{8}{9}[/tex] cups of water.
