Question

Jacob ate 10/12 candies and Julian ate 4/6.

How much more candy did Jacob eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob ate= 10/12 candies

Julian ate= 4/6 candies

to compare two unlike fractions we have to convert them to like fraction

to convert to like fraction=

1st step= Find LCM of both the denominators.LCM of 12 and 6 = 24

2nd step= Multiply each fraction by any number to get the LCM as denominator = 10/12 x 2 = 20/24

                         4/6 x 4 = 16/24

Now they are like fractions

Now compare

20/24 compare to 16/ 24

20/24>16/24

jacob ate more but by how much

Jacob ate more by = 20/24 - 16/24

4/24 or Simplified 1/6

thus Jacob ate more by 1/6 or 4/24 candies
