cups

Calculate Amount Difference: Kiara ate $\frac{7}{10}$ of a cup of nuts, and Jill ate $\frac{1}{10}$ of a cup of nuts. To find out how much more Kiara ate than Jill, we need to subtract the amount Jill ate from the amount Kiara ate. Calculation: $\frac{7}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{6}{10}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{3}{5}$ .
