    Total C. Sugar

    3 1/4+6 1/8

    =13/4 + 49/8

    =26/8 + 49/8

    =75/8 cups

    Used C. Sugar

    1 1/2 * 5

    = 3/2 * 5

    = 15/2 cups

    Remaining C. Sugar

    75/8 - 15/2

    =75/8 - 60/8

    =15/8

    =1 7/8 cups

    Answer

    1 7/8 cups remaining

    1 7/8 cups leftover

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total amt. of sugar Suze needs is 5 (1 1/2 cups) = 15/2 cups, or 7.5 cups.

    Combining the 3 1/4 and 6 1/8 cups of sugar remaining in the bag results in 3 2/8 + 6 1/8 cups, or 9 3/8 cups total. She needs only 7.5 cups of this sugar.

    Thus, she has leftover the following amount: 9 3/8 - 7 4/8 cups, which

    simplifies to 1 7/8 cups
