Question

Answer 1

ANSWER:

YOUR SISTER GOT 7/15 MORE!

QUESTION: You get one-fifth of a bottle of juice and your sister gets two-third of the same size of a bottle of juice. Who gets more and how much? ​

To find the Quantities and the Greater value, we must convert both fractions into like fractions (Their Denominators should be equal)

LCM OF 3 AND 5 = 15 (Both numbers are divisible by 15)

YOU = 1/5 x 3 = 3/15

SISTER = 2/3 x 5 = 10/15

LETS FIND OUT WHO GOT MORE?

Since, their Denominators are equivalent, we can simply compare the Numerators -

3/15 < 10/15

LOOKS LIKE YOUR SISTER GOT MORE JUICE THAN YOU DID! BUT BY HOW MUCH?

10 - 3 =  7

  15        15
