Answer:
-5/8
1/4 and 3/8 are represented as negative because it depicts a decline or reduction in the initial amount
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Breakfast = 1/4 cup of Oatmeal
Cookie recipe = 3/8 cups
Change in total amount had :
total amount used = (breakfast + cookie recipe)
= 1/4 + 3/8
= (2 + 3) / 8
= 5 / 8
Hence, change in amount had = - 5/8
1/4 and 3/8 are represented as negative because it depicts a decline or reduction in the initial amount
