Answer:

To find out how many more cups of cereal Marnel uses than marshmallow, we need to subtract the amount of marshmallow from the amount of cereal.

Marnel uses 4 2/3 cups of cereal and 3 1/3 cups of marshmallow.

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert them to improper fractions.

4 2/3 cups of cereal is equivalent to 14/3 cups of cereal.

3 1/3 cups of marshmallow is equivalent to 10/3 cups of marshmallow.

Now we can subtract:

14/3 - 10/3 = 4/3

So, Marnel uses 4/3 cups more cereal than marshmallow.
