Jordan bought 6 8/10 yards of pink ribbon and 3 1/4 yards of purple ribbon. how much more pink ribbon than purple ribbon did she buy.
:/ its not that hard tbh
Did you add or subtract
To find out how much more pink ribbon Jordan bought than purple ribbon, we need to subtract the length of the purple ribbon from the length of the pink ribbon. Let's convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions to make the calculation easier.
First, let's convert 8/10 into an improper fraction:
8/10 = (8 ÷ 2) / (10 ÷ 2) = 4/5
Now, let's calculate the length of the pink ribbon:
6 (whole number) × 4/5 (improper fraction) = (6 × 5 + 4) / 5 = 34/5
Therefore, Jordan bought 34/5 yards of pink ribbon.
Now, let's convert 1/4 into an improper fraction:
1/4 is already an improper fraction.
Now, let's calculate the length of the purple ribbon:
3 (whole number) × 1/4 (improper fraction) = (3 × 1) / 4 = 3/4
Therefore, Jordan bought 3/4 yards of purple ribbon.
To find out how much more pink ribbon than purple ribbon she bought, we subtract the length of the purple ribbon from the length of the pink ribbon:
34/5 - 3/4 = [(34 × 4) - (3 × 5)] / (5 × 4) = (136 - 15) / 20 = 121/20
Therefore, Jordan bought 121/20 yards more of pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
6 8/10 = 6 16/20
3 1/4 = 3 5/20
Subtract.
