SOLUTION: by how much does the difference between 9 and 3(4/5) exceed the difference between 1(4/25) and 4/5 Please help with logic and steps

Look at just the underline words:

by how much does the difference between 9 and 3(4/5) exceed the difference between 1(4/25) and 4/5?

So we subtract 9-3(4/5}}}
               9-12/5
               45/5-12/5
               33/5

Replace those underlined words by 33/5

by how much does 33/5 exceed the difference between 1(4/25) and 4/5?   

Look at just the underline words:

So we subtract 1(4/5)-4/5
                 4/5-4/5
                   0

Replace the underlined words by 0

by how much does 33/5 exceed 0?

Any number exceeds zero by itself!
