Question

A carnival game has 18 balloons. Amy popped 2/3 the first game and 5/6 the second game. How many more balloons did she pop the second game?

​

Answer 1

3 more balloons she has popped in the second game.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total no. of balloons = 18

Amy popped 2/3 the first game and 5/6 the second game.

Balloons popped in first game =
`(2)/(3)* 18=12\ \text{balloons}`

Balloons popped in second game =
`(5)/(6)* 18=15\ \text{balloons}`

Difference of balloons popped in first and second game,

= 15-12

= 3 balloons

Hence, 3 more balloons she has popped in the second game.
