Question

Reenu got 2 upon 7, part of an apple while sonal got 4 upon 5, part of it. Who got the larger part and by how much,?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sonal got the larger part. It was larger by 18/35th of the apple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reenu got  $\frac{2}{7} = \frac{(2)(5)}{(7)(5)} = \frac{10}{35}$th part of the apple.

Sonal got $\frac{4}{5} =\frac{(4)(7)}{(5)(7)} =\frac{28}{35}$th part of the apple.

Thus, evidently,

Sonal got the larger part. It was larger by 18/35th of the apple.
