3/4 is bigger 3 out of 4 is close to the whole portion and 2 out of 5 is a smaller portion drawing a picture is good to figure it out. You can draw 2 chocolate bars or something and find the difference

The ages of two brothers are in the ratio two to three, but in eight years, the ratio of their ages will be three to four. What

Darina [25.2K]

X = older brother
y = younger brother

Equation 1: x/y = 2/3 ⇒ x = 2y/3
Equation 2: x + 8/y + 8 = 3/4

$( \frac{2y}{3} + 8) / y +8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$(2y + 24)/3 = y + 8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3 (y + 8) = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3y + 24 = \frac{3}{4}$
$4 (2y + 24) = 3 (3y + 24)$
$8y + 96 = 9y + 72$
$y = 24$

The age of the older brother is 24.

$x = \frac{2y}{3} = \frac{2*24}{3}$
$x = \frac{48}{3}$
$x = 16$

The age of the youngest brother is 16.

What is 2/4 + 4/5 - 7/10 ? Please help

Radda [10]

Make sure they have all common denominators
$\frac{2}{4} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{7}{10}$

$\frac{2}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{20}$

$\frac{4}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{7}{10} * \frac{2}{2} = \frac{14}{20}$

$\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} - \frac{14}{20}$

Add $\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} = \frac{26}{20}$
$\frac{26}{20} - \frac{14}{20} = \frac{12}{20}$

To simplify, you must find the largest common factor which 4
In $\frac{12}{20}$
12÷4=3 and 20÷4=5

The answer is $\frac{3}{5}$
