the recipe calls for 3/4 cup
3/4 is equivalent to 6/8
since Erica only has 1/8 cup, she still needs 5/8 cups
because 6/8-1/8=5/8

5/8 cups, Explain- it will take a total of 6 cups that measures 1/8 each. This will be 6/8 cups of sugar, now lets reduce it by using the number 2, 2 in to 6 is 3, 2 in to 8 is 4 which is 3/4 cups of sugar.

Third choice is correct. She needs 5/8 cups added to the 1/8 cup to make 3/4 cups sugar.

5/8
1/8 + 5/8 = 6/8 = 3/4

5/8 cups.
You have 1/8 cup of sugar.
Now change the denominator of the 3/4 so that it is some number over 8.
To get 8, you multiply 4 by 2.
So now, multiply the numerator by 2.
So 3/4 = 6/8.
Now, do 6/8 - 1/8.
You get 5/8.

First convert the 3/4 into terms of 8ths... so that would be 6/8.
If she only has 1/8 and needs 6/8, she will need 5/8.
5/8 is your answer.

3/4 = 6/8
6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
answer is 5/8
