Answer:
Lyla used 1.4-1 = 0.4 = 40% more brown sugar than white sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much brown sugar she used, we divide the amount she used of brown sugar divided by the amount she used of white sugar.
7/10 of a scoop of brown sugar
1/2 of a scoop of white sugar.
So
[tex]\frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{7*2}{10*1} = \frac{14}{10} = 1.4[/tex]
Lyla used 1.4-1 = 0.4 = 40% more brown sugar than white sugar
