Answer 1

Please add the missing information.

Answer 2

Amount in bowl:\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]Amount removed: \[2 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]Total amount of sugar:\[=\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }-\left( 2 \times\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\right)\]\[=\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }-\frac{ 2 }{ 8 }\]\[=\frac{ 6 }{ 8 }-\frac{ 2 }{ 8 }\]\[=\frac{ 4 }{ 8 }\]Final answer is:\[=\frac{ 4 }{ 8 }\]
