Question

Evan placed an order for 9/10 of a sack of brown lentils and 1/2 of a sack of green lentils. How much more brown lentils did Evan order?

Answer 1

4/10 or if you need it simplified it will be 2/5

Explanation:

9/10 - 1/2

Least common multiple of 10 and 2 is 10. Convert 9/10 and 1/2 to fractions with denominator 10.

9/10 - 5/10

Since 9/10 and 5/10 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

​9-5/10

Subtract 5 from 9 to get 4.

4/10

Reduce the fraction 4/10 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

After doing the steps you should get 2/5 as your answer :)
