Question

Cody filled 9/10 of a bag with litter that he was picking up. Michelle filled 3/5 of a bag with litter.

How much more litter did Cody pick up than Michelle?

= ?/?

Answer 1

Cody filled 9/10 of a bag and Michelle filled 6/10 of a bag 
Therefore Cody filled 3/10 more than Michelle

Answer 2

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the common denominator and subtract 3/5 from 9/10.

3/5 = 6/10
9/10 = 9/10
The common denominator is 10.

Now, we subtract.

9/10 - 6/10 = 3/10

Since 3/10 can't be simplified, 3/10 bag is our answer.

Hope this helps!
