A tailor cut 1/2 inch off a skirt and 1/6 inch off a pair of pants. which garment had the greater amount cut off

Sagot :

The garment that had the greater amount cut off is the skirt

Explanation:

Amount cut off from skirt = 1/2

Amount cut off from pants = 1/6

To determine the grament witht he greater cut, we need to find the LCM of the fractions

[tex]\text{LCM of the denominator, 2 and 6 = 12}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{6}=\frac{6(1),2(1)}{12}=\frac{6,\text{ 2}}{12} \\ \text{the fraction with higher number of numerator had the greater amount cut off} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The fractor with higher number in the numerator = 1/2 has it has 6 has the numerator

In other words, 1/2 > 1/6

The garment that had the greater amount cut off is the skirt
