Example Questions

Example Question #31 : Subtracting Fractions In Word Problems

This year, Emily grew $\frac{1}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}$ of an inch, and her brother, Dan, grew $\frac{4}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{4}{6}$ of an inch. How much more did Dan grow than Emily?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{3}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{4}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{4}{6}$

$\frac{2}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{1}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{6}$

Explanation:

The phrase, "how much more" tells as that we want to find the difference in how much they've grown.

$\frac{4}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{4}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6}$
