Answer:

¼ yd

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 - 3/20

1. Find the lowest common denominator of the two fractions.

The LCD of 5 and 20 is 20.

2. Give the fractions the same LCD

2/5 - 3/20 = 8/20 - 3/20

3. Subtract the numerators

Keep the same denominator.

8/20 - 3/20 = 5/20

4. Simplify the fraction

5/20 = ¼  

The beetle crawled ¼ yd further than the spider.

Ok so it's a proportion so this fraction is to this fraction. the smaller rectangle has sides 4 and 12. the larger one has 8 and x. so u set it up 4/12=8/x. the 4 and 8 r both the short sides so u want those on top and 12 and x r long sides so those on bottom. since that is not an answer option u can set it up as 8/4=x/12 because u still keep the variables of the same rectangle from being multipled with each other. so answer #2 is correct
