Question

Walter and Layla own neighboring cornfields. Walter harvested 5/8 of an acre of corn on Monday and Layla harvested 3/8 of an acre. How many more acres did Walter harvest than Layla?

Answer 1

2/8 or if you have to reduce it, you could do 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Walter = 5/8 on Monday

And

Layla harvested = 3/8

So you just do

5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8

You can check it by doing 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
