Question

Last week Isaiah and his roommates ate 3/8 of a carton of yogurt, and this week they ate

7/12 of a carton. How much more yogurt did they eat this week compared to last week?

Answer 1

Answer: 5/24

Explanation:

The problem is 7/12-3/8. I got a common denominator of 24, then multipled 8 and 3 by 3, and 7 and 12 by 2. The problem is now 14/25-9/24, which equals 5/24
