Madhu=3/10

Answer 1

Answer:

Reshmi bought more cloth by 4/15...

Explanation:

1st equalize the denominator of 2/3 and 2/5

lcm of the denominators 3 and 5 is 15

2/3*5/5=10/15

2/5*3/3=6/15

Rashmi bought 10/15 m cloth

madhu bought 6/15 m cloth .

therefore, Rashmi bought more cloth

by how much more?

10/15-6/15 = 10-6/15=4/15

therefore, reshmi bought more cloth by 4/15
