Question

A recipe needs 3 over 4 teaspoon black pepper and 1 fourth red pepper. ________ more black pepper is needed than red pepper for this recipe.

  1. 1 fourth
  2. 2 over 4
  3. a over 4
  4. 1

hintHint:

In this we question we have given recipes and we need to calculate how more black pepper is needed than red pepper. So, have to subtract the fraction to get the total length of the pool. This can be done by fraction adding and for that we have to make denominator same this can be done by taking LCM. LCM is the least common multiple of two integers. We will use the prime factorization method to find the LCM. In prime factorization method the simply put the factor of each number and then for LCM we take product of factors by considering the repeated factors only one time with highest exponent.

The correct answer is: 2 over 4


    Step1: First we will write all the fractions and then we will write the denominator and then we will use prime factorization method to add the fraction.
    Fractions are :3 over 4 and 1 fourth.
    In this question the denominators are 4 and 4.So, this is a like fraction so we just simply need to subtract the numerator to get the desired result.

    3 over 4 minus 1 fourth equals fraction numerator 3 minus 1 over denominator 4 end fraction
    equals 2 over 4.So, we need 2 over 4 more amount of black pepper than red pepper.
