Question

Vikash got 1/3 of a cake and Gayatri got 2/5 part of it. Who got the larger part and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gayatri has larger part by 1/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

We need to compare the fractions.

Given:

Vikash's share = 1/3

Gayatri's share = 2/5

Before we compare, we need to normalize the fractions by making the denominators same.

So, multiplying and dividing vikash share by 5 = $\frac{1\times5}{3\times5} = \frac{5}{15}$

And, multiplying and dividing Gyatri's share by 3 = $\frac{2\times 3}{5\times 3 } = \frac{6}{15}$

Now, by making denominators same:

Vikash's share = 5/15

Gayatri's share = 6/15

So, Gayatri has larger part by 1/15.
