Question

Zach spent 2/3 hour reading on Friday and 1 1/3 hours reading on Saturday. How much more time did he read on Saturday than on Friday?

Answer 1

Subtract.

1 1/3 - 2/3

Convert 1 1/3 into an improper fraction:

4/3 - 2/3

Subtract the numerators together:

2/3

So he read 2/3 more time on Saturday than on Friday.

Answer 2

Answer: She read 2/3 hour more on Saturday than on Friday.

Explanation:

Here, the number of hour she read on Friday =
`(2)/(3)`

While, the number of hour she read on Saturday =
`1(1)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

Hence, the difference between the number of hours she read on Saturday and Friday

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

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

`=(2)/(3)`

Hence, She read 2/3 hour more on Saturday than on Friday.
