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
