The cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.

surely you can tell.
Answer:
old town has 150 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of steps in the old tower be m
Mathematically, time = distance/speed
In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending
For climbing, time spent = m/3
For descending time spent = m/2
Since it took her 25 longer when descending;
This means that;
m/2 - m/3 = 25
(3m-2m)/6 = 25
m/6 = 25
m = 6 * 25
m = 150 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
answer is in the above picture
