Question

Ms. Potts washed 1/4 of her laundry. Her son washed 3/7 of it. Who washed most of the laundry? How much of the laundry still needs to be washed?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Son washed more
• Remaining 9/28 of the laundry

Step-by-step explanation:

Make denominators common to see the difference in fractions:

• 1/4 = 7/28
• 3/7 = 12/28

Son washed more laundry as 12/28 > 7/28

Together they washed:

• 7/28 + 12/28 = 19/28 of the laundry

Remaining part is:

• 1 - 19/28 =
• 28/28 - 19/28 =
• 9/28 of the laundry

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9/28 is your answer......
