Question

Marlina and Daniel each have 45 books. If 4/5 of Marlina's books and 2/3 of Daniel's books are novels, how many more novels does Marlina have than Daniel?

A 2
B 3
C 6
D 30​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C) 6 is the correct answer

Step by step explanation

Given,

Fraction of novels Marlina has = 4/5

Therefore the number of novels =

$\frac{4}{5} \times 45 = 4 \times 9 = 36$

Now, given,

Fraction of novels Daniel has = 2/3

Therefore the number of novels =

$\frac{2}{3} \times 45 = 2 \times 15= 30$

Therefore the number of novels Marlina has more than Daniel = 36 - 30 = 6

Hope the answer helps you.
