Question

Maria spends 9/10 juan spends 2/6 how much more did maria spend then juan

Answer 1

17/30 more

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much more Maria spent than Juan, we subtract the amount Juan spent from the amount Maria spent.

amount Maria spent = 9/10

amount Juan spent = 2/6

the difference is

`(9)/(10)-(2)/(6)`

to perform the above subtraction, we find the common denominators of the fractions. The common denominator is 60.

`(9\cdot6)/(10\cdot6)-(2\cdot10)/(6\cdot10)`
`=(54)/(60)-(20)/(60)`
`=(34)/(60)\text{.}`

We reduce the above fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2

`(34/2)/(60/2)=(17)/(30)`

Hence our final answer is 17/30.

Thus we conclude that Maria spent 17/30 more than Juan.
