To estimate how much more Brett painted than Sandy, which statement is true?
A.1/10 is close to 0, and 4/9 is close to 1/2.
B.1/10 is close to 1/2, and 4/9 is close to 1/2.
C.1/10 is close to 0, and 4/9 is close to 1.

= 4/9 - 1/10
The Lowest Common Denominator = 90
Hencd:
= 4 × 10 - 1 × 9/90
= 40 - 9 /90
