A customer orders 2 pounds of cheese at a deli. The deli worker places some cheese in a bowl and weighs it. The scales shows 1 1/4 pounds. The bowl weighs 1/8 pound. What fraction of a pound of cheese does the worker need to add to the bowl?

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
