Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sugar Kaya put first time = 1/3 of a cup.
Amount of sugar Kaya put second time = 1 full cup.
Amount of sugar Kaya put third time =
1/4 of a cup.
Total sugar in the bowl = 1/3+1+1/4
= (4+12+3)/12
= 19/12.
Amount of sugar removed = 2/5 of a cup.
Amount of sugar left = 19/12 - 2/5
= (95+24)/60
= 119/60 = 1 × 59/60
