Joe eats 2/5ths of pizza, Jane eats 1/6th, how many has Joe eaten more than Jane ?
2/5 = 12/30
1/5 = 5/30
Subtract
To find out how many more slices of pizza Joe has eaten compared to Jane, we need to calculate the difference between the fractions.
First, let's find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.
Joe eats 2/5ths of the pizza, which is equivalent to (2/5) * (6/6) = 12/30.
Jane eats 1/6th of the pizza, which is equivalent to (1/6) * (5/5) = 5/30.
Now, we can subtract Jane's share from Joe's share: 12/30 - 5/30 = 7/30.
Therefore, Joe has eaten 7/30 more slices of pizza than Jane.
