Question

Ken grew 4/5 of an inch last year. Dang grew 3/8 of an inch. Who grew more and by how much?

I’m not sure if it’s division or multiplication

Answer 1

So, first things first, you need to get a common denominator for the two fractions.

That would be 40.

`(4)/(5) * (8)/(8) = (32)/(40)`

`(3)/(8) * (5)/(5) = (15)/(40)`

Which one is larger?
By how much is it larger?
Remember to reduce.
