Answer :
The first and second sentence is basically nonsense. Now you only need to do is cross-multiply or the butterfly method.
3 5
-----=-------
4 6
Do 3 times 6 which is 18
do 5 times 4 which is 20
So 5/6 is greater than 3/4 because 20 is on top of 5/6 and 3/4 is on top of 3/4
3 5
-----=-------
4 6
Do 3 times 6 which is 18
do 5 times 4 which is 20
So 5/6 is greater than 3/4 because 20 is on top of 5/6 and 3/4 is on top of 3/4
Well, first you would need to get a common denominator.
3/4 and 5/6
Try to find the multiples of 4 and 6 and then find one number that both of them have.
After doing that, you will discover that 12 is your common denominator.
To substitute 12 into 3/4 you will have to find out 4 times what equals 12
Simply divided 12 over 4 which equals 3 (12/4=3)
Remember everything you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator.
So 3 multiplied by 3 equals 9 (3*3=9)
Your new faction is 9/12
3/4 = 9/12
To find his brother's amount you do the same steps
5/6 = ?/12
6*2=12
5*2=10
New fraction 10/12
5/6 = 10/12
Bryan ate 9/12 of the peach and his brother ate 10/12 of the peach
His brother ate more.
