Question

Jimmy is trying to dive down and touch the bottom of the pool. The table below shows how far down he made it on each dive.
Dive 1 1/3
Dive 2 3/5
Dive 3 5/6

Jimmy's second dive was deeper than his first dive by what fraction of the pool?

of the pool?

Answer 1

Answer:

the fraction is given by 3/5-1/3

=4/15

Answer 2

Answer:

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference in the depths, we need to subtract.

3/5-1/3

Our denominators need to be the same so we can subtract

What is the least common multiple for the denominators 5 and 3

The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15

therefore:

3*3/5*3=9/15

and

1*5/3*5=5/15

So

9/15-5/15=4/15
