Answer 1

Given:

Ravi ordered a carpet that was 1 1/16 inches thick the pad underneath was 5/8 inch thick how much thicker is the carpet than the pad?

To find:

How much thicker is the carpet than the pad?

Solution:

The thickness of the carpet was = $1\frac{1}{16}$ inches = $\frac{17}{16}\:inches$

The thickness of the pad underneath the carpet was = $\frac{5}{8} \:inches$

Therefore,

The difference between the thickness of the carpet and the pad underneath the carpet is,

= $\frac{17}{16} - \frac{5}{8}$

taking the L.C.M. of the denominators i.e., 8, 16 is 16

= $\frac{17 - 10}{16}$

= $\bold{\frac{7}{16} \:inches}$

Thus, the carpet is $\underline{\bold{\frac{7}{16} \:inches}}$ thicker than the pad.
