Answer:
17/30 more
Explanation:
To find out how much more Maria spent than Juan, we subtract the amount Juan spent from the amount Maria spent.
amount Maria spent = 9/10
amount Juan spent = 2/6
the difference is
[tex]\frac{9}{10}-\frac{2}{6}[/tex]to perform the above subtraction, we find the common denominators of the fractions. The common denominator is 60.
[tex]\frac{9\cdot6}{10\cdot6}-\frac{2\cdot10}{6\cdot10}[/tex][tex]=\frac{54}{60}-\frac{20}{60}[/tex][tex]=\frac{34}{60}\text{.}[/tex]We reduce the above fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2
[tex]\frac{34\div2}{60\div2}=\frac{17}{30}[/tex]Hence our final answer is 17/30.
Thus we conclude that Maria spent 17/30 more than Juan.
