Question

giving brainly, show work! teacher said this was wrong, specifically the sheldon calculations part, so what's the correct answer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ahmed shoveled more

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to do 3/4 - 2/3 which is 1/12 so the you do 1/12 x 3/4 = 3/48

compare with 4/15 and 4/15 is higher so that what you got wrong

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sheldon's brother shoveled 2/3 of the driveway

Remaining portion = 1 - ⅔

= (3-2)/3

= 1/3

Sheldon shoveled 3/4 of what was left= ¾ × ⅓

= ¼

Sheldon shoveled ¼ or 0.25 of the driveway

Ahmed shoveled ⁴/5 of half of the driveway = 4/5 × ½

= 2/5

Ahmed shoveled 2/5 or 0.4 of the driveway

0.4 > 0.25

therefore, Ahmed will have the larger area to shovel
