Right. And you are welcome.
To find out how much more sugar you need compared to butter, you'll need to calculate the difference between the quantities of sugar and butter.
Given that you need 0.75 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of butter, you can subtract the amount of butter from the amount of sugar.
First, convert 1/3 cup of butter to the decimal form. 1/3 is equivalent to 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places).
So, the calculation would be:
0.75 - 0.33 = 0.42
After the subtraction, you have 0.42 cup of sugar more than butter.
Looking at the answer choices:
a) 5/12 cup
b) 3/4 cup
c) 1/2 cup
d) 2/3 cup
Among these options, the closest value to 0.42 cup is 1/2 cup, which is the answer choice (c).
