Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Michal finished=7/12 hours
Vaibhav finished=3/4×3/2
hours
=9/12 hours.
9>7=9/12>7/12
=3/4>7/12
Vaibhav worked longer
Required fraction=(3/4-7/12)
hours.
=(9/12-7/12)
hours.
=2/12 hours.
=1/6 hours.
Answer
1/6 is right answer.
Given,
Michael finished coloring a picture in 7/12 hours and Vaibhav finished coloring the same picture in 3/4 hour.
To Find,
Who worked longer and how much.
Solution,
Two compare the time taken by Micheal and Vaibhav first we need to make their denominators equal, otherwise, we can't compare them.
Time taken by Micheal = 7/12 hrs
Time taken by Vaibhav = 3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12 hrs
From here we can compare that
7/12 < 9/12
The time difference in their work will be = 9/12 - 7/12 = 2/12
Hence, Vaibhav worked longer than Micheal by 2/12 hours.
