Answer 1

To find out how much more blue paint Juanita needs, we need to subtract the amount of blue paint she already has (5/8) from the amount she needs (7/8).

7/8 - 5/8 = 2/8

So, Juanita needs 2/8 more blue paint. Simplifying this fraction further, we get 1/4.

Therefore, Juanita needs 1/4 more blue paint.
