Question

Maria and Darcy are in the same math class. Maria has completed 2/3 of her math homework. Darcy has completed 5/6 of her math homework. Which girl has completed more of her math homework?

Answer 1

Answer: Darcy

Step-by-step explanation:

Frist you want to get 2/3 and 5/6 to a common denominator so that you can easily find who finished more.

2 (x 2)/3 (x 2) times it both by 2/3 by two, the top and bottom.

Now we have 4/6 and 5/6 , see how easily we can find the answer by finding the common denominator.

Multiply both fractions or one of them so that their denominator's are the same number.

Answer 2

`(2)/(3) = (2)/(3) * 1 = (2)/(3) * (2)/(2) = (4)/(6) \\ \\(2)/(3) = (4)/(6)\\ \\\\(4)/(6) < (5)/(6) \\`then Darcy completed more of her math homework
