Data incomplete in question.

Question:

A store sold
6(1)/(5) cases of juice on Friday
4(4)/(5) cases of juice on Saturday. How many more cases of juice did the store sell on Friday than on Saturday?

Answer:


1(2)/(5) cases of juice sold on Friday than on Saturday.

Solution:

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

Number of cases sold on Friday =
6(1)/(5)=(31)/(5)

Number of cases sold on Saturday =
4(4)/(5)=(24)/(5)

Difference between cases sold on Friday and on Saturday


$=(31)/(5)-(24)/(5)


$=(31-24)/(5)


$=(7)/(5)


$=1(2)/(5)

Hence
1(2)/(5) cases of juice sold on Friday than on Saturday.
