Question

Razzle Shoes bought a 1/2 page ad in the Times. Dazzle Shoes bought two ads that were 1/6 page each. How much more advertising did Razzle shoes buy?

Answer 1

1/6 more ads.

Explanation:

1/2

2/6 is only 1/6 away from 3/6, which is 1/2

Answer 2

`(1)/(6)` pages

Explanation:

Given,

The number of adds bought by Razzle Shoes = 1,

Size of each ad =
`(1)/(2)` page

So, the advertising bought by it =
`1* (1)/(2)=(1)/(2)`

Also, the number of adds bought by Dazzle Shoes = 2,

Size of each page of ad =
`(1)/(6)` page

So, the advertising bought by it =
`2* (1)/(6)=(1)/(3)`

Since,

`(1)/(2) > (1)/(3)`

Thus, Razzle shoes bought more,

Also, advertising bought by Razzle shoes - advertising bought by Dazzle Shoes

`=(1)/(2)-(1)/(3)`

`=(3-2)/(6)`

`=(1)/(6)`
