Answer:
Fraction of Asha’s bookshelf = 5 / 6
Fraction of Samuel’s bookshelf = 2 / 5
Convert these fractions into like fractions
5 / 6 = 5 / 6 × 5 / 5
= (5 × 5) / (6 × 5)
= 25 / 30
2 / 5 = 2 / 5 × 6 / 6
= (2 × 6) / (5 × 6)
= 12 / 30
25 / 30 > 12 / 30
5 / 6 > 2 / 5
∴ Asha’s bookshelf is more full than Samuel’s bookshelf
Difference = 5 / 6 – 2 / 5
= 25 / 30 – 12 / 30
= 13 / 30
