Question

if ram ate 1/5 of a cake and shayam ate the cake 1/6 who at the bigger portion and by how much

Answer 1

Answer:

Ram

1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compare these two fractions to find who ate bigger portion.

Let us make the denominators same.

LCM of 5 and 6 = 30

$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{6}{6} = \frac{6}{30}$

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{5}{30}$

Denominators became equal. now compare the numerator (6 > 5)

$\frac{6}{30} > \frac{5}{30}$

So Ram ate bigger portion of cake.

How big he ate?

$\frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6 - 5}{30} = \frac{1}{30}$

Ram ate 1/30 portion more than Shayam
