Answer:
Jamie's claims are correct because 3/10 of the spool twine is left over after using 1/2 of the spool twin for friendship knot
Step-by-step explanation:
Full question: He claims to have 3/10 of the original spool of twine leftover.
First, we compare 3/10 with 4/5 - 1/2
The lowest common multiple for2 and 5 is 10.
To write 4/5 as a fraction with common denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by 2
4/5 = (4×2)/(5×2) = 8/10
To write 1/2 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply denominator and numerator by5
1/2 =(1×5)/(2×5) = 5/0
So we have :
8/10 - 5/10
Since denominators are equal ,we go ahead and subtract
8/10 - 5/10 = (8-5)/10 = 3/10
