Using subtraction of fractions, it is found that Regina's string was [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inches longer compared to Gino's string.
- If the subtraction of two measures of length a and b is positive, it represents how much longer a is than b.
In this problem:
- Regina's string is [tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] inches long.
- Gino's string is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] inches long.
Then:
[tex]\frac{10}{12} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{10 - 2}{12} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Regina's string was [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inches longer compared to Gino's string.
