Question

) Gaga and Arshi buy some chocolates, Gaga eats two full chocolates and three-eighths of a
third chocolate. Arshi eats one full chocolate and five-eighths of a second chocolate. How
much more chocolate does Gaga eat than Arshi? Write your answer as a mixed fraction in
the lowest form.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Chocolates Gaga ate: 2⅜

Chocolates Arshi ate: 1⅝

Simplifying the values:

• 2⅜ = (2×8+3)/8 = (16+3)/8 = 19/8
• 1⅝ = (1×8+5)/8 = (8+5)/8 = 13/8

(To simplify mixed fractions, ‘Whole number’ × ‘Denominator’ + ‘Numerator’ whole divided by ‘Denominator’)

Now, For the answer for your question, subtract 13/8 from 19/8,

• 19/8 - 13/8 = (19-13)/8 = 6/8

Simplified Answer = 3/4

Hope you got it :)
