Final answer:
The number (6)/(8) is (3)/(4), and the number (6)/(5) is (6)/(5). Therefore, there are (3)/(4) - (6)/(5) = (15)/(20) - (24)/(20) = - (9)/(20) more in the fraction (6)/(8) than in the fraction (6)/(5).
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many more are in (6)/(8) than in (6)/(5), we subtract the two fractions:
(6)/(8) - (6)/(5)
First, find a common denominator, which in this case is 40:
(6 * 5)/(8 * 5) - (6 * 8)/(5 * 8)
This simplifies to:
(30)/(40) - (48)/(40)
Now, subtract the numerators:
(30 - 48)/(40) = -18/(40)
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:
(-18/2)/(40/2) = -9/20
So, the final answer is -9/20, indicating that there are -9/20 more in the fraction (6)/(8) than in the fraction (6)/(5). The negative sign indicates that (6)/(8) is less than (6)/(5).
