Question

6. Dina added five-sixths of a bag of soil to her garden. Her neighbor Natasha added eleven-eighths bags of soil to her garden. How much more soil did Natasha add than Dina?

Answer 1

Answer:

Natasha added 13/24 of the bag of soil more than Dina

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given that

Dina added 5/6 of the bag of soil

Natasha added 11/8 of the bag of soil

To solve this problem, we will subtract two fractions with unlike denominators.

ie to find the quantity of soil did Natasha add than Dina

= 11/8 - 5/6

LCM = 24

ie 33/24 - 20/24

= 13/24

Answer:-

Natasha added 13/24 of the bag of soil more than Dina

Answer 2

Answer: 13/24

Step-by-step explanation: We need to make the fractions the same. The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24, so

5/6 x 4 = 20/24, and 11/8 x 3 = 33/24,

We need to subtract them, so

33/24 - 20/24 = 13/24
