" of " means multiply
2/3(27) = 54/3 = 18
2/5(20) = 40/5 = 8
so 2/5 of 20 is smaller
Is this 13 and 34 ? or 1,3,3,4?
I don't know what your asking
The piece Zoe cut off would be 1 and 5/12 ft long.
5 and 1/4 - 3 and 5/6
The least common denominator is 24.
5 and 6/24 - 3 and 20/24
5 and 6/24 becomes 4 and 30/24
4 and 30/24 - 3 and 20/24 = 1 and 10/24
1 and 10/24 can be simplified to 1 and 5/12.
