Question

Ravi walked 8/15 km, and Sanjay walked 9/13 km of distance.

Who walked more, and by how much?

A. Ravi walked more by 1/195 km.
B. Ravi walked more by 1/195 km.
C. Sanjay walked more by 1/195 km.
D. Sanjay walked more by 1/195 km.

Answer 1

To compare who walked more, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions representing the distances walked by Ravi and Sanjay. The common denominator is the product of the denominators, which is (15 * 13). Ravi walked (8/15) km which is equivalent to (104/195) km. Sanjay walked (9/13) km which is equivalent to (135/195) km. Therefore, Sanjay walked more by (31/195) km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare who walked more, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions representing the distances walked by Ravi and Sanjay. The common denominator is the product of the denominators, which is (15 * 13).

Ravi walked (8/15) km which is equivalent to (8/15) * (13/13) = (104/195) km.

Sanjay walked (9/13) km which is equivalent to (9/13) * (15/15) = (135/195) km.

Therefore, Sanjay walked more by (135/195) - (104/195) km, which simplifies to (31/195) km.

So, the correct answer is D. Sanjay walked more by 1/195 km.
