Question

How many times longer is a 20 2/5 meter garden path than a 6 4/5 meter garden path?

Answer 1

let's convert mixed numbers to fractions:

`\begin{gathered} 20\cdot(2)/(5)=(100+2)/(5)=(102)/(5) \\ 6\cdot(4)/(5)=(30+4)/(5)=(34)/(5) \\ \text{Let's find the difference:} \\ (102)/(5)-(34)/(5)=(102-34)/(5)=(68)/(5)=13\cdot(3)/(5)m \end{gathered}`
