Question

Mrs. Larson washed 3/8

of her laundry. Her son washed
1/3of it. Who washed most of the laundry? How much of the laundry still needs to be washed?

Answer 1

Mrs. Larson, 7/24 of the laundry

Explanation:

L: 3/8 = 9/24

S: 1/3 = 8/24

9/24 > 8/24

Mrs. Larson washed more

9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24

24/24 - 17/24 = 7/24

7/24 of the laundry still needs to be washed
