Question

Lea works at a cafe. Lea served 5/6 liter tea and 3/12 liter orange juice. How much more tea then orange juice did Lea serve?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:
First convert the fraction 5/6 so that it has the same denominator as 3/12. To do this, just multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/6 by 2.
So 5/6 is the same as 10/12. 

So if you subtract 10/12 minus 3/12 you get 7/12.

So Lea served 7/12 liters more tea than orange juice.
