Given :

White Paper used by class = 8 5/6 or 53/6

Red paper used by class = 3 1/12 or 37/12

Now, more white paper used than red paper = 53/6 - 37/12

= (106 - 37)/12

= 69/12

= 23/4

Thus, 23/4 more White paper is used than red paper.

Explaination:

More White paper than red + red paper = White paper

23/ 4 + 37/12 = 53/6
