Answer 1

Mrs. Voliva used 0.75 more of the green frosting container than the red frosting. To find this, the usage was converted to decimal form, with 1.5 for green and 0.75 for red, and the difference was calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much more of the green frosting container Mrs. Voliva used compared to the red frosting container, we need to subtract the amount of red frosting used from the green frosting. She used 3/4 of the red frosting and 6/4 (which simplifies to 1 1/2 or 1.5 when changed to decimal form) of the green frosting.

Now, let's calculate the difference:

• Amount of green frosting used: 1 1/2 or 1.5 in decimal
• Amount of red frosting used: 3/4
• Difference in use: 1 1/2 (green) - 3/4 (red)

First, we convert 3/4 to decimal to make the subtraction easier:

3/4 = 0.75 in decimal form.

Now we subtract:

1.5 (green) - 0.75 (red) = 0.75

So, Mrs. Voliva used 0.75 more of the green frosting container than the red frosting container.
