lara and maria finished 3/4 of their homework assignment. lara did 1/4 more of the assignment than maria. what fraction of the assignment did each girl finish?
Answered by anynomous
3/4 = 6/8. do you see why? If one finished 1/4 more, that is the same as saying 2/8. Subtract 2 from 6 and that leaves 4/8 (which is the same, by the way, as 2/4 or 1/2. Divide that in 2 and each girl finished 2/8 (or 1/4) = 4/8 (1/2) leaving the 2/8 (1/4) extra of the one girl.
