Question

"It takes Nadia 4/9 h to complete her Language Arts homework and 2/9 h to complete her mathematics homework. Which takes longer? How much longer?"


I don't understand what I'm supposed to do... Somebody please explain >_<

Answer 1

which is bigger? 4 or 2?
By how much?
4 > 2 -- 4 is greater than 2
4-2 = 2 so 4 is 2 bigger than 2

It just happens that you are dealing in 1/9ths, so since 4 > 2,

4/9 > 2/9
and
4/9 - 2/9 = 2/9

Answer 2

How much bigger is 4/9 than 2/9?

Answer 3
