¹⁶/₅ or 3 ¹/₅ or 3.2 ounces.

Question:
How much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting?
The Process:
From the information above, we made a suitable diagram as follows:
[tex]\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot} = 16 \ ounces[/tex]
Hence, one part equal to [tex]\frac{16}{5} \ ounces[/tex].
She used [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the chocolate to make some frosting, meaning two of five parts of the chocolate.
[tex]\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}[/tex]
And she used the rest, that is, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the chocolate to make brownies, meaning three of five parts of the chocolate.
[tex]\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}\boxed{\cdot}[/tex]
Finally, let us find out how much more chocolate did Mrs. Harrison use in the brownies than in the frosting. Before that, prepare in the form of a fraction of the part in question.
[tex]\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5} \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{5} \ }}[/tex] or one of five parts of the chocolate.
We declare this fraction into ounces by multiplying it by 16 ounces.
[tex]\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{5} \times 16 \ ounces \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ \frac{16}{5} \ or \ 3\frac{1}{5} \ or \ 3.2 \ ounces \ }}[/tex]
Thus Mrs. Harrison used 3.2 ounces more chocolate in brownies than in the frosting.
