Question

reenu got 2/7 part of an apple while sonal got 4/5 part of it. who got the larger part and by how much?​

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{Answer}}$

Reenu got = $\sf{\frac{2}{7}}$

Sonal got = $\sf{\frac{4}{5}}$

Make both the denominators same, by taking the LCM of 5 and 7

LCM of 5 and 7 = 35

Now, Reenu gets = $\sf{\frac{10}{35}}$

Sonal gets = $\sf{\frac{28}{35}}$

Clearly, we can see that Sonal gets more share.

By how much = $\tt{\frac{28 - 10}{35}}$

By $\bf{\frac{18}{35}}$

Answer 2

Let Total part of an apple=a

Reenu Got 2/7 of it=2a/7

Sonal got 4/5 of it=4a/5

$\frac{2a}{7} , \frac{4a}{5} </u></em></p><p><em><u>$

LCM of 7 and 5=35

$\frac{2a}{7} = \frac{2a}{7} \times \frac{5}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{10a}{35}$

$\frac{4a}{5} = \frac{4a \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \frac{28a}{35}$

$\frac{10a}{35} < \frac{28a}{35}$

$reenu \: share < sonal \: share$

Difference Between Them

$\frac{28}{35} - \frac{10}{35} \\ \\ = \frac{18}{35}$

So,

Sonal got Larger share by 18/35
