How many more cups of mashed bananas than vegetable oil are needed? Banana cake INGREDIENTS: - \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) cups sugar \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) cups flour \( \frac{2}{3} \) cup mashed bananas 1 cup milk \( \frac{1}{3} \) cup vegetable oil \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) teaspoons vanilla \( \frac{1}{4} \) teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 eggs Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. \( \square \) cups

To find out how many more cups of mashed bananas than vegetable oil are needed, we need to compare the amounts of each ingredient. 1. **Identify the amounts:** - Mashed bananas: \( \frac{2}{3} \) cup - Vegetable oil: \( \frac{1}{3} \) cup 2. **Calculate the difference:** We need to subtract the amount of vegetable oil from the amount of mashed bananas: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Mashed Bananas} - \text{Vegetable Oil} = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \] 3. **Perform the subtraction:** Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators directly: \[ \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 - 1}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \] Thus, the answer is: \[ \frac{1}{3} \text{ cups} \] So, you need \( \frac{1}{3} \) more cups of mashed bananas than vegetable oil.
