Answer:
No; his statement is not reasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the actual subtraction of 3/16 from 19/24. The LCD is 48.
19/24 less 9/48 becomes 10/48, or 5/24. This is nowhere nearly equal to "16/8 pounds more butter).
Note that 16/8 pounds is actually 2 pounds. So What Adriano says here makes no sense at all.
A correct statement would be: "The weight of butter used by Adriano exceeds the weight of honey used by him by 5/24 lb."
