Question

Say this but change the words a little
To solve the problem, I knew I had to subtract the distance Jill jumped from the distance her friend jumped. Since 6 - 6 = 0 I knew I needed to subtract the fraction in Jill's long-jump distance from the fraction in her friend's long-jump distance. When subtracting fractions, the first step is to find a common denominator. Since 21 is a common multiple of 3 and 7, I decided to make the common denominator 21. I multiplied the numerator and the denominator by the sarne number to write an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 21. Finally, I subtracted 7 from 15 to find the numerator, and I kept the denominator the same, 21.

Answer 1

To find a solution, I was aware that I had to deduct the distance Jill leaped by her friend's jumping distance. As 9 - 9 = 0, I recognized the necessity of subtracting the fraction in Jill's long-jump distance from the fraction in her friend's long-jump distance. When subtracting fractions, the initial step requires finding a common denominator. As 24 is a shared multiple of 4 and 6, I opted to utilize 24 as the common denominator. I multiplied both the numerator and the denominator by the identical number to create an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24. Eventually, I subtracted 6 from 12 to obtain the numerator, while retaining the denominator as 24.
