Question

1. Amie used 7/9 yard of ribbon in her dress. Jasmine

Answer 1

Answer:

Jasmine;

$\frac{1}{18}$ more

Step-by-step explanation:

Amie used 7/9 yard of ribbon, and Jasmine used 5/6 yard of ribbon. We can compare these fractions easier if they have the same denominator (bottom number). Let's get a common denominator for these fractions.

7/9 x 2/2 = 14/18

Amie used 14/18 yards of ribbon

5/6 x 3/3 = 15/18

Jasmine used 15/18 yards of ribbon

Which is greater: 14/18 or 15/18? 15/18

To find out how much more, just subtract 14/18 from 15/18:

15/18 - 14/18 = 1/18

Jasmine used 1/18 yards more ribbon than Amie
