Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know of the first question.

Jacob took 2/6th of a pound of candy.

Louis ate 7/9th of a pound of candy.

We need to find who ate more candy.

We need to find how much more candy one person ate.

To find this information, lets get a common denominator for both fractions.

Both 6 and 9 in 2/6 and 7/9 go into 18, so:

2/18 and 7/18

Now we need to fix the numerator.

To do this, we must see how many times 6 and 9 go into 18, and then multiply the numerator by that.

So:

6 goes into 18 3 times. 3x2 is 6. So our first fraction is 6/18ths.

9 goes into 18 2 times. 7x2 is 14. So our second fraction is 14/18ths.

Now, comparing our fractions:

Jacob - 6/18

Louis - 14/18

#1 part 1 - 14/18 > 6/18

#1 part 1 - So Louis ate more candy than Jacob.

Now to find how much more, lets subtract Louis's from Jacob's:

14/18 - 6/18

=

#1 part 2 - 8/18

So the difference is 8/18

Next we have question 7.

So lets go over what we know.

We need to write division problems.

A fraction itself is a division problem.

In a fraction, the numerator is divided by the denominator.

So in our first question:

1/5 can be written as: 1 divided by 5 equals 1/5, or:

#2 part 1 - 1÷5=1/5

In our second one:

4/8 can be written as: 4 divided by 8 equals 4/8, or:

#2 part 2 - 4÷8=4/8

In our third one:

9/12 can be written as: 9 divided by 12, equalling 9/12, or:

#2 part 3 - 9÷12=9/12

Im sorry I have to go ill finish answring in like 15 minutes! Hope this will help you so far! :D

Answer:

Ok, to countinue on from what I was saying.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets go over what we know for #3:

Becca has 3 cookies.

She needs to divide these 3 cookies into 7 pieces.

Or, we can think of this as:

She needs to divide 3 by 7.

3÷7 is equal to 3/7, so our answer is:

#3 part 1 - 3/7

#3 part 2 - I attached a image below of this.

Next lets go over what we know for #4.

Kelsey has 25 pages.

She reads 4 6/8ths of these pages.

We need to find what she has left.

We can do this by subtrating her 25 pages by 4 6/8ths:

25-4 6/8

Well, lets start by subtracting the whole number, 25-4 is 21:

21-6/8

Now lets subtract the fraction. Since we know that there is a total of 8/8ths in 1, and we are subtracting 6/8ths, we can now look at this as:

#4 part 1 - 20 2/8

Since we took 1 from 21, making it 20. Then we subtracted 6/8 from 8/8:

8/8-6/8 = 2/8

So it was 20 2/8.

Now we are on our last question.

We need to add 1/4 to 2 1/3

First off, we need to find a common denominator.

This will be 12. So:

3/12 and 2 4/12

Now lets add them together:

#5 part 1 - 2 7/12

So this is your answer.

Hope this helps! :D
