Solution

Trisha's recipe uses 3 scoops of ice cream and Austen's recipe uses 7/8 of a scoop.

To find out how many more scoops Trisha uses, you subtract the amount Austen uses from the amount Trisha uses.

So, 3 (Trisha's amount) - 7/8 (Austen's amount) = 2 1/8

Therefore, Trisha uses 2 1/8 more scoops of ice cream than Austen.
