Carla is filling her scrapbook with photographs. In April, she filled 1/4 of the scrapbook. In May, she filled another 1/6 of the scrapbook. How much more of the scrapbook did she fill in April?
1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12
To find out how much more of the scrapbook Carla filled in April, we need to calculate the difference between how much she filled in April and how much she filled in May.
Let's start by determining how much of the scrapbook Carla filled in April. We are given that she filled 1/4 of the scrapbook in April.
Next, we need to calculate how much of the scrapbook Carla filled in May. We are given that she filled 1/6 of the scrapbook in May.
To find the difference, we subtract the amount filled in May from the amount filled in April:
1/4 - 1/6
To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12 (the least common multiple of 4 and 6).
We convert 1/4 into an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12:
(1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12
We convert 1/6 into an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12:
(1/6) * (2/2) = 2/12
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
3/12 - 2/12 = 1/12
Therefore, Carla filled an additional 1/12 of the scrapbook in April compared to May.
