Question

Timberly spent 3 4/5 hours in Misty spent 2 1/10 hours at gymnastics practice over the weekend. How many more hours did Timberly spend than Misty at the gymnastics practice?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The common denominator of these 2 fractions is 10.

Turn the mixed number 3 4/5 into an improper fraction which would be

19/5.

Then multiply the numerator and denominator with 2 to get the denominator to be 10.

19/5 x 2 = 38/10

Now turn 2 1/10 into an improper fraction= 21/10

Now subtract...

38/10 - 21/10 = 17/10

So Timberly spent 17/10 or 1 7/10 more hours then Misty at the gymnastics practice
