if loar's mom gave her 3/4 of a dollar.joe's mom gave him 4/5 of a dollar. Who got more
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
3/4 = 0.75
4/5 = ?
i still don't get it oh and thank u
is it 1 1/5 ?
No.
Use your calculator. Divide 4 by 5.
because:
3/4=15/20
4/5=16/20
and 15/20<16/20
so,joe has more.
To determine who got more, we need to compare the amounts that Loar and Joe received.
Loar's mom gave her 3/4 of a dollar, which can be represented as a fraction.
Joe's mom gave him 4/5 of a dollar, which can also be represented as a fraction.
To compare these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
In this case, the least common denominator is 20 because both 4 and 5 can be multiplied by 4 to equal 20.
Converting the fractions:
Loar's share = (3/4) * (5/5) = 15/20
Joe's share = (4/5) * (4/4) = 16/20
Now, we can see that Loar received 15/20 of a dollar and Joe received 16/20 of a dollar.
Comparing the fractions, we can conclude that Joe got more because 16/20 is greater than 15/20.
In terms of amount, since they started with the same denominations (a dollar), Joe received a larger share.
