Juanita needed 3 2/3 hours to take a standardized test, and Jordan needed 5 and 1⁄4 hours. How much more time did Jordan need than Juanita to take the test?

Respuesta :

To find the difference subtract:

5 1/4 - 3 2/3

Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:

1/4 = 3/12

2/3 = 8/12

Now you have:

5 3/12 - 3 8/12 = 1 7/12

The answer is 1 7/12
