Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
So lets go over what we know of the first question.
Jacob took 2/6th of a pound of candy.
Louis ate 7/9th of a pound of candy.
We need to find who ate more candy.
We need to find how much more candy one person ate.
To find this information, lets get a common denominator for both fractions.
Both 6 and 9 in 2/6 and 7/9 go into 18, so:
2/18 and 7/18
Now we need to fix the numerator.
To do this, we must see how many times 6 and 9 go into 18, and then multiply the numerator by that.
So:
6 goes into 18 3 times. 3x2 is 6. So our first fraction is 6/18ths.
9 goes into 18 2 times. 7x2 is 14. So our second fraction is 14/18ths.
Now, comparing our fractions:
Jacob - 6/18
Louis - 14/18
#1 part 1 - 14/18 > 6/18
#1 part 1 - So Louis ate more candy than Jacob.
Now to find how much more, lets subtract Louis's from Jacob's:
14/18 - 6/18
=
#1 part 2 - 8/18
So the difference is 8/18
Next we have question 7.
So lets go over what we know.
We need to write division problems.
A fraction itself is a division problem.
In a fraction, the numerator is divided by the denominator.
So in our first question:
1/5 can be written as: 1 divided by 5 equals 1/5, or:
#2 part 1 - 1÷5=1/5
In our second one:
4/8 can be written as: 4 divided by 8 equals 4/8, or:
#2 part 2 - 4÷8=4/8
In our third one:
9/12 can be written as: 9 divided by 12, equalling 9/12, or:
#2 part 3 - 9÷12=9/12
