A toy store uses 3/16 of its space for trains. Its uses 1/16 of its space for boats. How much more space is used for trains than for boats? Simpilfy the answer if possible.
To find the difference in space used for trains and boats, we need to subtract the fraction of space used for boats from the fraction used for trains.
The fraction of space used for trains is 3/16.
The fraction of space used for boats is 1/16.
To find the difference, we subtract 1/16 from 3/16:
3/16 - 1/16 = (3 - 1)/16 = 2/16 = 1/8.
Thus, the difference in space used for trains and boats is 1/8.
