Question

Sahil ate 5/9 part of a cake and rahil ate 1/3 of the same cake. Who ate more and how

Answer 1

Answer: Sahil ate more cake than Rahil by 2/9 part of a cake

Step-by-step explanation:

Sahil ate 5/9 part of the cake. Rahil ate 1/3 part of the cake. We will convert it into like fractions. Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator.

Out of the two fractions, 5/9 has a bigger denominator so we will not change it (if the case arises, both are changed). 1/3 needs to be changed to a fraction with denominator 9. 3*3=9, so we will multiple 1/3's numerator and denominator by 3. $\frac{1*3}{3*3}$ = $\frac{3}{9}$

Hence, you can compare the numerator of 5/9 and 3/9. And hence, you can see that 5/9 is greater than 3/9. So, Sahil ate more cake.

By subtracting 3/9 from 5/9, we can see that the difference is 2/9.
