​

Answer 1

Kamlesh bought $\frac{1}{24}$ meter of blue ribbon than the green ribbon.

Given:

Kamlesh bought $\frac{2}{3}$  meter of green ribbon and $\frac{5}{8}$ meter of blue ribbon for tying gifts.

To find:

How much more blue ribbon Kamlesh bought than the green ribbon.

Solution:

Let,

The length of green ribbon is $\frac{2}{3}$

The length of blue ribbon is  $\frac{5}{8}$

To find how much more blue ribbon Kamlesh bought than the green ribbon,

Subtract the length of green ribbon to blue ribbon

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{(8)(2) -3(5)}{8(3)}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{16 -15}{24}$

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{24}$

Therefore, Kamlesh bought $\frac{1}{24}$ meter of blue ribbon than the green ribbon.
