Question 643556: Sarah needs to make a cake and some cookies. The cake requires 3/8 cup of sugar and the cookies require 3/5 cup of sugar. Sarah has 15/16 cups of sugar. Does she have enough sugar, or how much more does she need?

Add 3/8 to 3/5. Then subtract the sum from 15/16. If the answer is positive, she has enough. If the answer is negative, then she doesn't have enough and the absolute value of that answer is the amount she needs.
