Question

Jason jumped 6 2/3 feet in a jumping contest. Yolanda jumped 4 3/4 feet.
How much farther did Jason jump than Yolanda?

Answer 1

Answer:

we have to compare 6⅔ and 4¾ make denominator same

$6 \frac{2}{3} - > \frac{20}{3} \\ \\4 \frac{3}{4} - > \frac{19}{4} \\ l.c.m \: of \: 3and4 \: is \: 12 \\ \frac{19}{4} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{57}{12} \\ \\ \frac{20}{3} \times \frac{4}{4} = \frac{80}{12} \\ \\ \frac{80}{12} > \frac{57}{12} \\ \\ 6 \frac{2}{3} > 4 \frac{3}{4}$
