Question

If Anita read $\frac{2}{6}$pages of the book and Sunita read $\frac{3}{5}$pages of the book. Who has read more pages?

Answer 1

Since, the Denominator are not same.

To make the denominator same

Consider the denominator of given fraction is $5,6$

The LCM of $5,6$ is $30$

The fraction becomes

$\frac{2}{6}\times 30=10$

Hence, $\frac{2}{6}\times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{10}{30}$

Also $\frac{3}{5}\times 30=18$

Hence, $\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{18}{18}=\frac{18}{30}$

Now, Consider $\frac{10}{30}$ and $\frac{18}{30}$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{30}?\frac{18}{30} \\ 10\times 30?18\times 30 \\ 300?540 \\ 300<540 \end{gathered}$$

Since, $540$ is greater than $300$

Hence, $\frac{18}{30}>\frac{10}{30}$

Hence, Sunita read more pages.
