Question

Sheela finished reading a s storybook in 4 1/2 hours and Uma finished the same storybook in 4 2/3 hours. Who finished earlier and how much earlier

Answer 1

Answer:

sheela finished earlier by 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken by sheela = 4 1/2 = 9/2 hrs

time taken by uma = 4 2/3 = 14/3 hrs

lcm of 3 and 2 is 6

so time taken by sheela =9*3/2*3 = 27/6

time taken by uma = 14*2/3*2 = 28/6

time taken by uma is more = 28-27/6 = 1/6 hrs = 1/6*60 = 10 minutes

so sheela finished earlier by 10 minutes
