To find out how much more baking powder Mia had yesterday, we need to subtract the fraction of the box she has today from the fraction of the box she had yesterday.

The fraction she had yesterday is 1/6 and the fraction she has today is 1/10.

So, we subtract 1/10 from 1/6.

First, we need to find a common denominator for these two fractions. The least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30.

So, we convert 1/6 and 1/10 to fractions that have 30 as the denominator.

1/6 is equivalent to 5/30 (because 6 * 5 = 30) and 1/10 is equivalent to 3/30 (because 10 * 3 = 30).

Now, we subtract 3/30 from 5/30, which gives us 2/30.

However, 2/30 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

So, 2/30 simplifies to 1/15.

Therefore, Mia had 1/15 more of a box of baking powder yesterday.
