Given:

Atul has \dfrac{2}{3} lb of candy.

Jose has \dfrac{3}{5} lb of candy.

Maria has \dfrac{1}{2} lb less than Jose.

To find:

How many more pounds of candy does Atul have than Maria?

Solution:

Since, Maria has \dfrac{1}{2} lb less than Jose, therefore

Maria has = \dfrac{3}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2} lb

Maria has = \dfrac{6-5}{10} lb

Maria has = \dfrac{1}{10} lb

Difference between the candies Atul and Maria have.

Difference = \dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{10} lb

Difference = \dfrac{20-3}{30} lb

Difference = \dfrac{17}{30} lb

Therefore,  Atul have \dfrac{17}{30} lb of candy more than Maria.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The distance of the playground is 540m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the length of the playground given the information in the question.

Where to attack the question from is the segment that states that he took a break after 480m and also had 2 breaks. Thus, the distance traveled would be 480 * 2 = 960 m

Now, to find the length of the track, we add the distance covered plus the distance uncovered. Mathematically that would be 960m + 120m = 1,080m

In the last part of the question, we are told that the track is twice as long as the playground. This means that the length of the playground or the distance of the playground is 1080/2 = 540 m
