My answer is 3/8 is it right? 3/4-3/8= 6/8-3/8= 3/8
Right!
To find out how long Kecia and Les danced, we need to subtract 3/8 hour from the 3/4 hour that Lyndi and Josh danced.
To do this, we can convert the fractions to a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
Lyndi and Josh danced for 3/4 hour, which can be written as 6/8 hour (multiply numerator and denominator by 2).
Now we can subtract 3/8 hour from 6/8 hour to find out the difference:
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8.
Therefore, Kecia and Les danced for 3/8 hour.
