Answer 1

Cara ate 2/5 more cookies than her mom.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more cookies Cara ate than her mom, we need to subtract the fraction of cookies her mom ate from the fraction of cookies Cara ate. Cara ate 3/5 of the cookies and her mom ate 1/5 of the cookies, so the difference is 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5 of the cookies. This means Cara ate 2/5 more cookies than her mom.

Answer 2

2x/5. x is the total number of cookies made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies made be "x"

Cara are 3x/5 numbers of cookies

Her mother ate x/5 numbers of cookies

Then Cara are 3x/5 - x/5 than her mother.

= 2x/5.
