Final answer:
To find out how many more scoops Scott's milkshake recipe uses compared to Jared's, you subtract the smaller number of scoops (Jared's 1/2 scoop) from the larger number (Scott's 5 1/3 scoops), resulting in 4 5/6 scoops difference.
Explanation:
The question involves comparing the number of scoops in two different milkshake recipes, which is a basic subtraction problem in arithmetic. To find out how many more scoops of ice cream are used in Scott's recipe than in Jared's, we subtract the number of scoops in Jared's recipe from the number in Scott's.
Scott uses 5 1/3 scoops of ice cream, which can also be represented as 16/3 scoops when converted to an improper fraction. Jared uses 1/2 scoop of ice cream. To find the difference, we subtract 1/2 from 16/3:
Calculation:
16/3 - 1/2 = (16 x 2) / (3 x 2) - (1 x 3) / (2 x 3)
= 32/6 - 3/6
= (32 - 3) / 6
= 29/6
= 4 5/6 scoops
So, Scott's recipe uses 4 5/6 more scoops of ice cream than Jared's recipe.
