1. Sarah needs to make a cake and some coolies. The cake requires 3/8 cup of sugar and the coolies require 3/5 cup of sugar. Sarah has 15/16 cups of sugar. Does she have enough sugar, or how much more does she need?
- A. has enough sugar
- B. has enough sugar
- C. has enough sugar
- D. has enough sugar
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Sugar required = 3/8 + 3/5 = (15 + 24) / 40 = 39/40 cup
Shortage of sugar = 39/40 - 15/16 = (78 - 75)/80 = 3/80 cup
