Question:

A store sold [tex]6\frac{1}{5}[/tex] cases of juice on Friday [tex]4\frac{4}{5}[/tex] cases of juice on Saturday. How many more cases of juice did the store sell on Friday than on Saturday?

Answer:

[tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] cases of juice sold on Friday than on Saturday.

Solution:

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

Number of cases sold on Friday = [tex]6\frac{1}{5}=\frac{31}{5}[/tex]

Number of cases sold on Saturday = [tex]4\frac{4}{5}=\frac{24}{5}[/tex]

Difference between cases sold on Friday and on Saturday

                                                     [tex]$=\frac{31}{5}-\frac{24}{5}[/tex]

                                                     [tex]$=\frac{31-24}{5}[/tex]

                                                     [tex]$=\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

                                                    [tex]$=1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Hence [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] cases of juice sold on Friday than on Saturday.
