Katie is 3/5 of the way to Brianna's house. Larry is 7/10 of the way to Brianna's house. How much closer to Brianna's house is larry
Katie has 2/5 which is 4/10 left to walk
Larry has 3/10 left to walk
Larry is 1/10 closer
Nina practiced the trumpet for 5/9 hour.Santiago practice the trumpet for 2/3 hour . how much longer did Santiago practice than Nina
Larry is 1/10 closer then Katie because you can't add 3/5 by 3/10 so you find the LCM then add them together.^_^
nina practiced trumpet for 1/6 hour Santiago practice the trumpet 2/3 hour how much longer did Santiago practice than nina
6/10-7/10 you can't subtract which you would have to regroup the fraction 6/10 you in to 8/10 to make the fraction equal parts so,8/10-7/10=1/10so Larry is 1/10 closer to Briannas house
Larry is closer to Brianna's house because he is "7/10" of the way there, while Katie is only "3/5" of the way there. So, Larry is "2/10" (or "1/5") closer to Brianna's house than Katie. Keep going, Larry!
To find out how much closer Larry is to Brianna's house, we need to compare the distances that each person has travelled.
First, let's determine the distance between Katie and Brianna's house. Since Katie is 3/5 of the way there, it means she has traveled 3/5 of the total distance.
Next, let's determine Larry's progress. Larry is 7/10 of the way to Brianna's house, meaning he has covered 7/10 of the total distance.
To make a comparison, let's find a common denominator for 5 and 10, which is 10. This means we need to convert the fractions so that their denominators are both 10.
For Katie:
3/5 * 2/2 = 6/10
For Larry:
7/10 * 1/1 = 7/10
Now, we can directly compare their progress:
Katie: 6/10 of the way
Larry: 7/10 of the way
Larry is 1/10 (or 1 out of 10 parts) closer to Brianna's house compared to Katie.
