ryan needs 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts. so far he has 1/6 cup. how much more does ryan need to chop?

To find out how much more Ryan needs to chop, we need to subtract the amount he already has from the total amount he needs.

Ryan needs \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup of chopped walnuts, and he already has \( \frac{1}{6} \) cup.

### Step 1: Find a common denominator
The common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12.

\[
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{2}{12}
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the fractions
\[
\frac{9}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{9 - 2}{12} = \frac{7}{12}
\]

So, Ryan needs to chop \( \frac{7}{12} \) cup more walnuts.
