Question

Abigail used 3/4 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of water, how much more milk than water did she use.

Answer 1

To find out how much more milk Abigail used than water, subtract the amount of water from the amount of milk.

Abigail used:
- Milk: \( \frac{3}{4} \) cups
- Water: \( \frac{1}{2} \) cups

First, we need to convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4 to easily subtract:

\[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}
\]

Now, subtract the amount of water from the amount of milk:

\[
\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

So, Abigail used \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup more milk than water.
