A toy store uses 3/16 of its space for trains. Its uses 1/16 of its space for boats. How much more space is used for trains than for boats? Simplify the answer if possible.

Answer 1

To find the difference, we must subtract the fraction of space used for boats from the fraction of space used for trains:
3/16 - 1/16 = 2/16
Since 2/16 simplifies to 1/8, there is 1/8 more space used for trains than for boats. Answer: \boxed{\dfrac{1}{8}}.
