Chetsold 3

of their class's total and Wesley sold 13
28 of
their class's total. How much less of the class total did Chet sell than Wesley did? Simplify the answer if possible

Answer 1

Chet sold 3/28 of the class total and Wesley sold 13/28 of the class total.

To find the difference between what Chet and Wesley sold, we need to subtract the fraction Chet sold from the fraction Wesley sold:

(13/28) - (3/28) = 10/28 = 5/14

So, Chet sold 5/14 less of the class total than Wesley did.
