How much greater is the length of the rectangle than the width?

A) 1/12 ft
B) 1/4 ft
C) 11/24 ft
D) 1/2 ft

Answer 1

C 11/24 ft

Explanation:

5/6ft, and 3/8ft LCM (Least common multiple) would be 24 so what you do to the dominator u do to the numerator so 5/6ft × 4 = 20/24ft

and 3/8ft × 3 = 9/24ft

Final step: 20/24ft - 9/24ft = 11/24ft

Answer 2

rewrite each fraction as equivalent fraction with common denominator.

LCM(6,8) is 24

5/6 = 20/24

3/8 = 9/24

The difference between 20/24 and 9/24 is 11/24
