Question

Mrs. Haley baked apple pies for her family. The boys ate 9/10 of a pie and the girls ate 2/5 of a pie. How much more pie did the boys eat than the girls?

Answer 1

Answer: The boys ate half a pie more than the girls did (5/10 more).

Explanation:

2/5 = 4/10

The difference between 9/10 and 4/10 is 5/10, or one half, so that's your answer.
