Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

¹⁶/₅ or 3 ¹/₅ or 3.2 ounces.

Further explanation

Given:

Mrs. Harrison used 16 ounces of dark chocolate while baking.
She used ²/₅ of the chocolate to make some frosting.
She used the rest to make brownies.

Question:

How much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting?

The Process:

From the information above, we made a suitable diagram as follows:

$\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot} = 16 \ ounces$

Hence, one part equal to $(16)/(5) \ ounces$ .

She used $(2)/(5)$ of the chocolate to make some frosting, meaning two of five parts of the chocolate.

$\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}$

And she used the rest, that is, $(3)/(5)$ of the chocolate to make brownies, meaning three of five parts of the chocolate.

$\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}$

Finally, let us find out how much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting. Before that, prepare in the form of a fraction of the part in question.

$\boxed{ \ = (3)/(5) - (2)/(5) \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = (1)/(5) \ }}$ or one of five parts of the chocolate.

We declare this fraction into ounces by multiplying it by 16 ounces.

$\boxed{ \ = (1)/(5) * 16 \ ounces \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ (16)/(5) \ or \ 3(1)/(5) \ or \ 3.2 \ ounces \ }}$

Thus Mrs. Harrison used 3.2 ounces more chocolate in brownies than in the frosting.
