Question

If Brenda ate 1/2 pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Mark ate 3/4 pints of malt ice cream how many times more ice cream did mark eat

Answer 1

1/4 more................................................

Answer 2

Mark eat 1/4 more than Brenda

Explanation:

Brenda ate 1/2 pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream

Mark ate 3/4 pints of malt ice cream

To find how many more ice cream mark eat, subtract the 1/2 pints from 3/4 pints

`(3)/(4)- (1)/(2)`

To subtract fractions, the denominators should be same

LCD of 4 and 2 is 4

`(3)/(4)- (2)/(4)`

`(3-2)/(4)`

`(1)/(4)`

So Mark eat 1/4 more than Brenda
