Question

Jennifer wants to layer her dollhouse pillows in blue and green fabrics. She uses 1 over 9 of a yard of blue fabric and 4 over 9 of a yard of green fabric. How many more yards of green fabric does Jennifer use than blue fabric?

  1. 5 over 9
  2. 4 over 9
  3. 2 over 3
  4. 1 third

The correct answer is: 1 third


    obvious we have to take difference
    The difference = 4 over 9 minus 1 over 9 equals 3 over 9
    The answer can be simplified further by using a common divisor 3.
    3 over 9 divided by 3 over 3 equals 1 third
