Question

Tom worked for 3/8 while Jerry worked for 7/12 hours. Who worked more and by how much? please give answer in detail​

Answer 1

Answer:

Check if 3/8 is greater or 7/12 is greater...

LCM of denominators 8, 12 = 24

3/8 = 3*3/24 = 9/24

7/12 = 7*2/24 = 14/24

As 14/24 is greater than 9/24...

Jerry worked more than Tom

Jerry worked more than Tom by (14/24 - 9/24) hours

14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24 hours

= 60 min *5/24 = 12.5 min

Answer 2

5/24 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom worked in day = 3/8hours

Jerry worked in a day=7/12hours

If we want to find who worked more then, we compare.

We can compare by cross multiplication

$\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{7}{12} = 3 \times 12 = 36 and 8 \times 7 = 56$

7/12is greater than 3/8

so, Jerry worked more than Tom

$\frac{7}{12} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{14 - 9}{24} = \: \: \frac{5}{24} ans$

Jerry worked more than Tom by 5/24 hour
