Question

Kyle read 3 5/6 books and Jan read 2 1/3 books. How many more books did Kyle read than Jan?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 5/6 = 3 10/12

2 1/3= 2 4/12

3-2=1

10/12-4/12= 6/12=1/2

so Kyle read 1 1/2 more books then Jan

Answer 2

Answer:

Kyle read $1 \frac{1}{2}$ books more than Jan

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put our equation

$3 \frac{5}{6}-2\frac{1}{3}$

They have different denominators so let's look for the $LCM$ to find our common denominator

Find our LCM

Definition of LCM - LCM stands for least common multiple. The least common multiple of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them.

Now let's find our LCM

$6:6,12,18,24,30,36,42\\\\3:3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30$

as you can see our $LCM$ is $6$

Now our fraction is

$3\frac{5}{6}-2\frac{2}{6}$

Solve

$3\frac{5}{6}-2\frac{2}{6}=1 \frac{3}{6}$ this can be reduced to $1 \frac{1}{2}$

Kyle read $1 \frac{1}{2}$ books more than Jan
