  1. Identify Ingredients Used: Step 11: Identify the amounts of flour and sugar used. Albert used 78\frac{7}{8} cup of flour and 18\frac{1}{8} cup of sugar.
  2. Calculate Difference: Step 22: Calculate the difference between the amount of flour and sugar.\newlineDifference = Amount of flour - Amount of sugar\newlineDifference = 78\frac{7}{8} cup - 18\frac{1}{8} cup\newlineDifference = 68\frac{6}{8} cup
  3. Simplify Fraction: Step 33: Simplify the fraction. \newline68\frac{6}{8} cup can be simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 22.\newlineSimplified Difference = 68÷22=34\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{2}{2} = \frac{3}{4} cup
