Sonali complete her homework iny5/6 of an hour and priya in 3/4 of an hour.who was faster?
3/4 * 60 = 45
5/6 * 60 = 50
thank you
5/6*60= 45. 3/4= 50.
Maybe priya is faster than sonali.
I am not sure
WHICH IS CORRECT
To determine who was faster, we need to compare the fractions of an hour it took Sonali and Priya to complete their homework.
Sonali completed her homework in 5/6 of an hour, which means she took 5 parts out of 6 parts of an hour.
Priya completed her homework in 3/4 of an hour, which means she took 3 parts out of 4 parts of an hour.
Now, to compare the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 4 is 12. So, we can rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 12:
Sonali's time = 5/6 x (2/2) = 10/12
Priya's time = 3/4 x (3/3) = 9/12
Now we can see that Sonali took 10 parts out of 12 parts of an hour, while Priya took 9 parts out of 12 parts of an hour.
Since Sonali completed her homework in more parts of an hour (10/12) compared to Priya (9/12), we can conclude that Priya was faster in completing her homework.
